It's not that easy because showing up to check posts is not always on everyone's mind. Yes, we are moderators and core teamers, coders for the core, project leads and almost every one of us work. We have been lowering the guidelines for making users trusted so we ask that you please remain patient. I am not sure what time your noon was, but i haven't seen a post in the queue remain longer than lets say 2 hours today. Maybe there was a problem in the queue and it didn't show up, not sure. I looked at your first post time vs the time this was submitted and it was 6 hours difference. I admit that moderation is not always as fast as it should be for approval, but the reason for the process is to make sure things like duplicates are not processed (which happens many times in a single day), to keep the trolling from going on, to make sure things are in the proper place, and last is that being trusted in a community is something that is normally earned and this is no different on asp.net.
