Hey Andrey my friend,

I have one final request - can you please disable the "Moderated Posts" system, whereby posts go under the scanner of a Mod when they are posted (with/without a link)?

What is happening is that - innocent posts by regular members are getting diverted unnecessarily into the Moderation queue and that is frustrating the regular members a lot.

Plus it is affecting real-time interaction between members when their posts go into the moderation queue and nobody can see them until a Moderator approves it.

Now that spammers have stopped coming in, we can safely have that feature removed.

Neverending, Zwoti and me can deal with the occasional spammer or two.

Please see if you can get that feature removed.

Thanks in advance,

_____V_____

Hi!

Can you please specify when you noticed "Moderated Posts" system influence?

Hey Andrey,

Like for example, I approved this post from the Moderation queue yesterday -

http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...&postcount=861

It is a simple vote posted by a regular member in one of the tournaments I am running. There is nothing to make it marked under
spamming or anything else, but still it went into the Moderation queue for approval.

Another post here - http://www.horror.com/forum/showpost...80&postcount=3

Don't know why this post went into the Moderation queue as well. The member who posted it got confused and posted the same
message 4 more times because his post was not showing to him.

I removed those duplicate posts into the Spam section - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60370

Such things are making regular members confused, irritated and angry, because it is stopping them from live interaction with other
members and threads directly.

There seems to be no reason why such regular and harmless posts are getting diverted into the Moderation queue. Please see if
something can be done to stop this.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for persisting at trying to get this sorted, V.

If only I had some admin powers, mate. Even limited access as admin.

Oh well...

Hi!

Ok, I see. But when you noticed that strange behavior first time? Today? Yesterday? Month ago? Year ago?

About a month ago, I think.

Around the time you enabled the "Moderate New Members" option.
Maybe something else got enabled which is sending these normal posts of regular members under the Moderation scanner.

Maybe it's a keyword, or a set of keywords? Like some forums have some words blocked from usage?
But why would that make posts with a name like "Isabelle Adjani" go into the Moderation queue?

Check this thread - http://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59625

It was the first time this was reported by forum members. Date is 12/12/2011.

Hey Andrey,

See these posts. I have not approved them yet.

You all won't be able to see the 3 posts above, because I have held them back so that ElGato can see them and figure out what's wrong with them.

They are -

1) A test post by distemper85 in "Guillotine Guys" thread in Indie horror.

2) A post by Elvis Christ (in reply to Mothman's post) in "What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?" thread in Music.

3) A post by ManchestrMorgue (in reply to Tangleduponblue's post) in "What is it like to live in ..." thread in General.

Awaiting ElGato's reply.

Sounds promising. Fingers crossed.

Ooops- I approved the last one. :p

Which was what I was advocating for before... Why can't he also make you an Admin so that he doesn't have to "deal" with this?
