How long does it usually take for posts to be approved on Freecycle?

Question

I'm only new, & dont really know where to look for the answer, or even if i've done it properly. I feel silly, but any help would be appreciated! :-)

Answer 1

You would have to ask your group moderator about this, as each group is run independently. On my Freecycle group, messages are approved as soon as the moderator sees it - but as we're all volunteers, it depends on when he or she can find time.

If there's a problem with the post - particularly the "Subject" line, which needs to include the words "Offer" or "Wanted" and (in our group, anyway) your rough location - the moderator will email the member to let him or her know what the problem is, and ask him or her to re-submit it. So if you've been waiting a while, check your emails first then ask the moderator.

All the best,
