Default I'm so stupid...

Hey everyone! Earlier today I registered here at BAUT and figured that after I introduced myself I will post 'Part 1' of my theory in the 'CT' section however, I tried about 6 many times to create a topic, each time nothing happened, by nothing I mean that I was redirected to the CT forum and no topic was created, then I read the information which appeared on the redirect screen and noticed that it said the topic needed to be moderated.

Peace, Kenny.

Welcome.

Did your post have the word "time" in its subject? For some reason, the BB software doesn't like that.

Did your post include some hyperlinks? Posts from new posters that contain links have to be verified by the moderators. It's an anti-spambot measure.

Kenny,

Welcome to the BAUT forums. Yes, we have a spambot control measure in effect here that holds newcomers' posts in a moderation queue for approval. As for your post, I'm afraid it's not suitable for posting in its present form. The image is much, much too large...far outside our guidelines for inline images. Further...and this in itself is not a rule-breaker...imaged text is not searchable by the board software.

If you wish to present your case, please type your text out.

Thank you for informing me Peter, I have a text document of my theory written out, it's just that I am worried about the fact that someone could steel my theory and claim it for themselves.

Well, the prior posting here would date stamp it.

IF you don't post it we can't see it.

That would happen anyway. With OCR software (optical character recognition) someone could take you image and turn it into text.

Or they could just transcribe it.

Put anything on the internet, and someone can copy it.

At least, as noted above, your posting of it will date-stamp it.

If you make it stainless it might be harder to steel.
