Many overlapping problems with website

Sarracenia 12/27/2023 01:44 pm 923

I tried to pos/t a thre-ad with a li/nk but can’t tell if it got eaten or is just temporar/ily unpu/blished for review. I tried to look for help but the for/um se/arch is inaccessible and only lets me do us/er se/arch no matter what I clic, so I tried to po/st a thr/ead with a more detailed que/stion about it, but it said my top/ic was re/petitive and would not let me. I have censored words here in hopes that mechanism won’t kick in here! I’m so frustrated and feel like I can’t use the site. Does anyone have help for even one of these issues?

Now that the thread is up I can add more detail without fear of my post being deleted. I made a thread about kandi single tips and tricks with several paragraphs and a link to show some of my singles. Then, when I hit post, it put up a captcha which I did successfully. Then, it went to a cloudflare protection page. Then, it went back to the “new thread” screen and my post was gone! I want to know if it was eaten and I need to rewrite it or if it is just temporarily unpublished for review because of the link, but I can’t figure out any way to determine that.

I tried to look in forum search for help, but when I click on forum search, it takes me to user search instead. When I click the drop-down box that’s supposed to let me change it, no matter what option I click it only goes to user search. So it’s totally unusable.

Then, I tried to post a thread similar to the first paragraph of this post, but it said I couldn’t post it because it is repetitive. If I can’t use the search, how am I supposed to tell or find the relevant post that would supposedly answer my question?

@P1nk_Mal1bu_Barb13: According to the popup message they get flagged for review by mods, which is fine, but I want to know how to tell if my post was flagged for review or if it was eaten.

thats normal dont worry, its kinda like if you post a photo on a thread, a moderater has to look over it to make sure its safe.

Its an automatic thing especially with links. we've had users post links to either unsafe sites or sites we don't have affiliation with and if something happens like off site bullying. There is not much we can do. So there is a safety feature with links to flag it to the mods and also a warning if a thread has an outside link. If accounts are newer they are more likely to need a mod to approve or sit in approval jail for a small amount of time before it approves. just to limit if it is a spam account or something to that effect

Some things on the site are in maintenance so some things may also act up.

@Peanut: Thank you! I'm okay with the post having to go through review, but what I'm wondering is if there's a way to see if it made it into review or if it just got eaten, since it seemed like the site was bugging out real bad when I tried to post it and there was no indication of whether or not it had actually gone to review. I can't find anywhere to see if I have posts under review. Is there any way to tell? If not, how long should I wait before rewriting it?
