How to post and get quick acceptance by admins?

fuxo · 2018-08-10, 04:13 PM

Hello,
I started a thread in this forum some days ago. My first post got delayed two days because I was informed that admins should revise it before anything else, so OK. The second one went smoothly, as soon as I posted it, it shown up on the thread. My thrid post was 3 days ago and still not shown in the thread... I don't get any feedback from the admins, why? Is there any guide for posting I missed?
On the thread, people are answering but I can not reply, quite boring.

Thanks!

Most new users are spammers, so what happens is that new user's posts get sent through a spam service that tells us the likelihood of it being spam, and then need to be moderated by me. It's obviously not perfect, and depends on me being active to approve the new posts, which I was not the past couple weeks. Once you reach a certain number of posts, you get upgraded to a different usergroup which does not go through that spam service. I have manually put you in that group now. I should probably add some more moderators to help with this issue.

I made my first posting four or five days ago and it still hasn't shown up. I made a second posting just now in "Introduce Yourself" and it showed up immediately.

Has my first posting UPD'd into the bit bucket? The first posting included a picture (800x600) of my Muni. Does that cause the posting to be potentially rejected or more likely to be scrutinized as spam?

Awesome forum, Gilby. I find old postings of mine when I was a "news group user". Had forgotten that we all originally hung out on rec.sports.unicycling!

Cheers,

Keith

I'm not seeing your post Keith. Which thread did you make it in?

Hi Gilby,

The post was a reply to "MUni frame by Steve Howard" with an OP of Greg Harper on 2002-05-09.
