Newbie here...
Is there a certain forum one should post vanities?
Also, all my posts go into a review period. Is that because I’m new?
Please read Jim's message again.
He is asking you to refrain from posting vanities, unless it is a well-researched article with original content. There are categories for that: the same ones used for lamestream media articles.
If you need further guidance, please see this posting.
