My posts or replies not showing up

Mystery — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 06:43:48 GMT

Can a mod check my community account? I put some postings up and I don't see them posted, but I received badges for them. Can't really get community rewards and any Bravos if no one can see my posts. I'm subscribed to them though. I saw a few resolved cases of people having rejected posts. I noticed that I had my VPN connected on my phone when I posted so I disconnected to post this, in case that's the issue...Can a mod or check, and release my posts? Thanks.

My Postings / Replies in Community- a no show!

I posted a few replies here within Discussion, and now I'm subscribed to the topic but my replies aren't showing up, even after others have commented. I even received a badge for replies but my prove doesn't even lost my Latest Posts under My Profile.

Anyone have this problem? This hasn't occurred for me before.

So this request went through my phone with my VPN disconnected. Now, I'm testing it with it on, connected to a Toronto server; I was connected to a Seattle server when my missing posts occurred......

So, for those interested...expect problems posting to Community when connected to VPN servers outside Canada.

I'd still like help on my missing posts though, mods!! Thanks!

Another member had similar issues with posts being filtered and needed moderator intervention to recover their posts. http://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/Discussions/Rejected-Posts/m-p/137536#M44735

On the other hand, you are now coming through without the VPN.

Perhaps the VPN is hiding your identity?

Thanks for the link.... I saw this too, but I couldn't find the My Rejected Posts in my profile so to confirm what was going on.

I guess I will have to remember to connect to a Canadian server VPN from now on!!

Yes, Luddite is correct. My posts were all of a sudden rejected and I wasn't using VPN either. You will only be able to view your rejected posts at the moment it was rejected and you can press a link to view them. Afterwards, I couldn't find them either. Once the moderators are online, they will just need to release your posts. It's a really quick process!

Thanks, @CalvinW. I didn't get that link after each post, so I was unaware until I spent some time looking at the replies posted after mine. I agree, @Luddite, that the VPN does block my identity, but PM blocked it according to the ISP location I was using. A Canadian ISP address appears to not be a problem.

I use Opera browser VPN set to "Optimal" location without issue. Of course that may be Canada but I doubt it. If I do have an issue it is usually resolved with turning the ad/popup blocker off.

As an aside I posted this after selecting Germany for the VPN site.

I doubt that VPNs have anything to do with problems posting. My computer connection is almost never geolocated in Canada. There aren't any sites that get upset by that, including this forum. This post is not done via Canadian sourced IP.

Not sure why I am having problems then. I am again connected to a Seattle server... Testing to see what happens...

Edited to add: this post showed up once... Then found it within My Rejected Posts. Must be the VPN.

Almost believed you, will13am... I tried switching back to the Seattle server and my post is in limbo under My Rejected Posts, awaiting approval (@CalvinW, I finally got that link and found all my rejected posts!!).

Right now, it seems my VPN is contributing to the problem. I use PIA.
