Not always but sometimes when I leave a post I recieve a message saying that my posts is being moderated before it can appear on the site. Why is this. I do not swear in forums and I  steer away from off topic issues that might cause annoyance - you know war in Iraq etc. It only seems to happen with lengthy posts is there any rhyme or reason?

Hi Graham,

                I've noticed having to approve a couple of your posts in the past but don't know of any obvious reason as to why they have been put into the approval area. There is no "bar" on your account - as proved by this thread appearing without any intervention.

All I can really say at the moment is the site "blocker" is extremely sensative and will hold a post of it is in any way construed as being offensive. The problem here being software has no common sense and will not take any word, or part of, in context and simply not allow the post. I suspect this is the case with your experience. I'll ask van to see if he knows of any other reason. I know it is frustrating for you and anyone else who has had this happen to them and in the meantime please just sit tight - we DO value yours and every members input.

EDIT: it has just occured to me that posts with a lot of links in them will be put on hold but cannot remember if this may be the case with the threads you mention?

 

Chris.

It is just the system. Are you putting links in your posts? It is not anyone human doing this!!

no - its weird I thought it might be because I am partial to the term crap or *** but I have cut that out. Yet it happens in completely "innocent" posts.

the *** was supposed to say bottom with se at the end and ar at the front

I have to admit that your posting manners are exemplary Graham, I've asked van to check if there is anything I've missed

Just looking into it guys....

It does not really matter most of the time because normaly I am just asking stuff that is not time sensitive. However, I responded to a post about transporting an Avant in a car (something which I have experience of) which did not contain any *** earlier today and this needs moderation. Does not bother me but kind of renders me posting it pointless.

 

On another note - no point in starting a new thread for this trivial question: In A Clockwork Orange film is the record player in the room of the lead character seen quite early on in the film (white) B&O by any chance. It would fit I guess as he does rob and therefore have loads of money to buy expensive stuff. In fact the whole film is littered with style icons...

Hi Graham

I have looked into your account and there is nothing out of the ordinary and you have got the standard settings on your account.

I must admit that the software can sometimes be very sensitive particularly when a lot of hyperlinks are used.

I have tweaked your settings to see if it will make any difference.

Please let me know if this makes any difference.

Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused with your posts. 

It's not always about your posting specifically. I was put onto moderation because of the work *** in  the title of the ***iest speakers thread I responded to.

As an experiment I am going to see what the system makes of the town Scunthorpe!

no probs, I have a site myself and have the same issues sometimes. Is there a chance you could approve the Avant post?

 

Thanks

 

Graham

I was born and bred in Scunthorpe funnily enough....

Graham, I have looked in the "moderation" folder and there is nothing currently awaiting approval.

As the saying goes, "if Margaret Thatcher put the Brit back into Britain who put the ...... in S****thorpe?

I may be wrong but I think the turntable you are refering to was a Transcriptors.

Pretty sure it is a complete Beosytem 1200. Seem to remeber reading it on the old site.

As said before, it is not us but the software - and I cannot see any reason why your post was moderated. The moderators will approve posts when they come up as long as there are no real problems so please be patient. There is no censoring of views and no conspiracy - just Microsoft software!

Hi guys,

This post addresses the same issue, and thus it is intended for moderators action : I posted 2 posts today with pictures (in the thread "flash your B&O" on the general forum and the thread "Light-lamp" on Lifestyle forum).

For both, I was warned that my posts are waiting for a moderator approval. Is that because there are pics enclosed? Could the filter take into account who is posting?

So could you please guys approve my posts so they can appear in the threads?

Thank you very much,

Philippe

 

Both approved. It really is just the software - I left for work at 07-15 this morning and only got back at 20-45 so sorry for the wait.

Oh Peter, I had no idea it was you who was solely in charge of this.

Appreciate your input and your dedication, as always.

 

Take good care,

Philippe

I am not alone! But I think all of the moderators hav been busy today. This site is always getting more professional but I am afraid the moderators are still all just enthusiasts. Personally I think this makes this a friendly and welcoming place but obviously we do sometimes take time to react!

As mentioned - it's nothing personal if your post goes for approval.  The filters can be 'jumpy' - but when was the last time we saw a spam attack or profane post from a 'bot' on here..  I'm proud to say we are free of all that rubbish - and BeoWorld is all the better for it.

With the good things come the not-so-good things - but i think the good things far outweigh them

That said, when i get a free moment i'll look into the settings.
