Moderator Approval
- Thread starter PeakSeason
- Start date
There are certain things that trigger the censor (even I don't know all of them, lol) and apparently if someone who just joined (measured by both time and #of posts) posts certain things (even certain words) it is triggered because so many spammers use them.
Sorry for the inconvenience it may cause, but if you've ever tried to read here if a bot somehow slips through you'd understand why it has to be done.

I've noticed that if I edit an exiting post of mine, the post sometimes disappears from public view while awaiting moderator approval. Is there no way of leaving the earlier unedited version of the post up until the moderator has a chance to review and approve the updated version?
Again, it's all automatic.

Sorry, I should have expressed myself more clearly. What I was trying to ask is whether the moderators could change the automatic settings to prevent the situation I described. This would delay any new edits from being shown but not remove the existing version of the post. Perhaps there's no way of configuring your system to do this, but I wanted to check.

Sorry to bump and old thread but I just had a question about this as well. I was doing a trip report "Summerpalooza" and it was awaiting approval but now it seems to have been deleted. If I broke any rules or anything that I am not aware of please let me know so I do not do it again! I have read the terms and conditions and I dont think I see anything I did wrong. Please just let me know. Thanks!
The thread should be visible again. Sometimes adding external content (like YT videos) can flag the thing is spam. I can see in this case it isn't.
Sorry no there isn't a way to achieve that. Only a very small number of posts get placed into a queue, so it shouldn't cause you much of an issue going forward.

I just joined a day or so ago. I was engaging in conversation with others who shared my opinion. I tried to respond for hours with relevant responses and kept getting "awaiting moderator approval" for every single comment. After waiting a bit for the response to show up, I simply deleted it. I waited this morning to try and write a response again, relevant to the conversation, but it told me again that I was waiting approval.
Why are all of my comments awaiting approval now? I didn't say anything bad, only am contributing to the conversation. Did someone report me for my opinion? Please help! Thanks!

We have some automated systems which attempt to help us reduce/eliminate spam. Occasionally the system incorrectly flags real posts for moderation. Apologies your posts got delayed.

Life of a forum admin. Keep up the good work! This place doesn't get out of control as most online forums can manage to devolve to.

Much thanks. I just didn't understand what may have happened. I appreciate your response.
6. Do not bump threads unless you have something else to add to the discussion. Additionally, replying to discussions which have been inactive for several months or longer should be avoided unless you have something of value to add.
This is why one post was flagged, and deleted.
