New canon dslr question - advice needed

[donoreo]

I see the links, but I did not approve them. Anothe mod must have.

I think they tightened up the rules again for now, there has been a lot of spam lately.

Very tempting prices. However, I don't think Hong Kong purchased camera bodies are covered under Canon UK warranty.

Thanks for the reply donoreo,

That's odd as I still don't see my post from yesterday afternoon. It only had two links, one to WEX and one to Mifsuds. Both of whom are advertisers in the DCW mag, so I can't see them being blacklisted links.

When these posts get marked for moderation, do they go to someone at Future? or one of the community mods?

The only posts I get any notification for are reported ones, with moderated posts we have to go to a list of posts for moderation so it is really down to who gets there first, in my case during the week it is pretty much only evenings I get a chance to look.

Now that's really odd, as my post with the links has just appeared this evening. Guess it's just one of those oddities of this forum that some of the posts are marked for moderation and others aren't.

Thanks for looking and the explanation, guys.
