Don't worry!

Some new users are randomly placed on a moderated watch, so moderators must approve some of the new posts, it helps to prevent spamming of the boards; as well as make sure that if someone has a question about how to do something it increases the likely hood of a moderator seeing it and be able to answer. Once your post is checked it'll show up. After you're around for a while and post some it'll go away.

So don't be afraid to jump right into the MINI community, we don't bite, we roll down the window and wave frantically!
