Just to let you know that nobody except for you and me sees my posts:
"This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors."

I also ran into this issue. I posted two replies in different threads that disappeared last week, including someone else's reply to one of them. I even found the cached permalink of one of these posts, which came up as "not found" when I revisited it.
I realize that the un-paid side of the forums are probably not funded for minute-by-minute moderation activity, but unfortunately I think that that may be necessary until the spam issue is locked down.
Does the new forum software support the "new posters require moderation until marked otherwise" feature that some forums have? (I don't actually know what it's called.) If so, that could be an option to keep the forums clear without minute-by-minute moderator activity--mark the preexisting posters as not needing moderation, and new accounts wait a day or two for their posts to flow through.
Edited to add: I'm concerned that perhaps there is no one who is authorized to delete posts and ban accounts? The primary spammer has been at it for several hours, some of them I believe business hours. I'd have expected him to be banned by now.
Again, I realize that I'm not paying anything for my use of the forum, so I have no grounds to gripe. But this seems likely to damage the reputation of the site as a whole.

Thank you, John, for freeing my posts from a moderation jail!
Hurray! Your post went through immediately as it should.

I can no longer sign into the Getting Things Done forum on Tapatalk. I've reported it to the app developer, but the error message also suggested I report it to the admin for this forum. FYI.
