Problems w Joomla.org

I have had some odd problems with the Joomla.org website.  Wondering if its just me.  First, I registered for the forums.  I activated, logged in, etc. Then later I went to review an extension.  I was logged in on the forums but not on the extensions!  When I tried to log in, I had to create a new account!  Shouldnt I have one account for the whole website?

Anyway, I wrote my review, submitted, and as far as I can tell nothing happened.  The page submitted correctly and all but there is no review!  Just to test, I then rated the extension.  Page said "Your rating has been saved" after submit but I dont see a rating!

Has anyone else had similar problems?

The extensions, forum and forge sites are all different installations of Joomla. It is indeed true that you need an account for each part of the Joomla site. All reviews on the extensions site are approved by moderators, the reason for this is that we do not want to allow spam and the like to be entered in the reviews/comments.

I will choose to believe that there is a very good reason for that... but it seems kinda silly to me.
