Yes, correct on hidden for approval and also not able to set pricing or registration parameters.
We use the events as a calendar as well and one of the things we do is help our members promote their events via our site.
Before switching over to your platform we used a calendar system that allowed members to submit and that worked very well for us and they liked it as well.
It is not mission critical as we now have them email us and then we input the event. It would help us streamline the process if they could submit their event on your platform and we could set pricing & registration parameters if needed.
Thank you for your prompt response!
