If that were true, my guess is a newbie couldn’t post either.
No, newbies are on probationary status. Every time they hit send it automatically goes to the moderator for approval.
The newbie gets a message.... Thank you for your submission. You’re reply will be posted soon.
Then if the moderator approves it, the message gets posted.
This lasts for the first couple of dozen or so replies, until that newbie is finally trusted.
