posts disappearing?

[Yorkie]

Hi

Still new over here, I have put two posts on to the forum and then when I have gone back in they are not there! Any idea's why? there was nothing in them for them to be modded and i have reposted the exact same post again and it has been accepted.

It's all very confusing

There used to be reports of missing posts, but haven't had any for months .... until now

Can you let me know which posts they were (that you reposted) and I will investigate.

I know some people fall foul of the feature that when you hit the submit button, but someone has posted while you were composing your post - an extra screen warns you and doesn't submit your post ... if you don't notice and hit another link instead - your post goes nowhere.

I suspect some over-zealous moderation

Hi there

the two that disapeared and i reposted were:

10.39pm 12/01/10

and

http://www.iconicaircraft.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2188

Today

Both times it came up with the posted screen and the link to view post or go back to last page (which i impatiently clicked)

It doesn't stress me, as i check my posts after posting, in case my keyboard has a M$ moment and spells things wrong.

The phrase "Out Of Character" comes to mind.........

I think you may be thinking of ANOTHER PLACE!

I suspect some over-zealous moderation

I thought i had to pay for moderation

And I have never nearly never been moded anywhere maybe once somewhere!

I think it could be me being impatient at work (slow internet connection)

OOooo ... moded - don't mess about with just being moded ......you've not lived till you've been completely banned from a forum at least once - as I have

[Saracenman]

how long was it for? fifteen minutes or something wasn't it?

[Dan4th]

...and shouldn't it be "Modded"?

Or perhaps "Moderated"?

TSK! What you Brits have done with

Our lovely language?? It certainly is OUR language (ENGLISH) and we shall do what we see fit

as for the moded Vs Modded or moderated, thats because i'm multitasking so had to rush.

Two countries seperated by a (largely) common language!


With some awful spelling changes!

Nope - for life - never been back - over zealous prat in charge of the forum was the same race as the small mouthed teutonic git - if you get my drift

The only thing I can think of is Server Load .... But I need to prove that.

I suggested a "Spam Thread" a while ago, but it didn't really get off the ground.

We need:

10 or more users available at the same time of day
All submit 10 posts to the same thread at the same time in quick succession (even if its counting to 10)

The whole process should only take 5mins and we can see if every user has their 10 posts still in the thread.

Thanks for looking into it..

Anything you want me to do, just let me know. I'll be on here most days during the day (don't tell the boss)

Like i said i wasn't fussed about them going, just wanted to let you know. It could have been something i did!

[Wedgy]

Don't worry, if you look in this section, you will find 10+ topics on missing posts

Well everybody certainly seems friendly and helpful over here! and can take banter

If I can just say though, when I was over on the other forum I never knew much about this one, It was Andy (320psi) that told me about it, I had a very bad experience on Pprune and never went back, and stayed away from other aviation forum because of it.


Thanks

Strangely enough we seem to have quite a few members who have suffered on PPRUNE!

Well as some of you know, I have been over on TVOC for a few years, but registered on Pprune because of all the rubbish that was going on with the TVOC forum and the amount of folk disapearing. asked one question and got shot down by various people (how dare i ask a question) so gave up and kind of stuck with the TVOC one, but just went quiet (except Andy's thread).

So like I say, some familiar names over here, Still waiting for Naddy to say hi to her fellow Yorkshireman but it's loads better. If only I had know before now.
