What is the purpose of "This post is pending approval from a moderator. Please be patient!"? After the post is approved, I can still edit the post as I want, so this kills the sense. I don't see a reason for this existing, do you? If you do, I'm curious.

Spam is a severe problem on the forum. It's gotten so bad in the past that it's borderline made the forum unusable. To make sure spam attacks don't get through, the first few posts by a new user usually require approval. We routinely prevent a lot of spam reaching the forum this way, but it does mean some real user's posts are occasionally held up for a short while.
