Where's that post?

LovesToPM — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:23:16 GMT

Did someone accidentally remove the most recent post titled "Am I out of luck?"

You can see the replies to the original post under "Latest Posts", but the orginal post is now gone or hidden.

It's the Access Denied scenario:

@LovesToPM Yes something definitely happened! I wasn't even able to post my response to it (it's sitting in the draft, but cannot post). Then I noticed you and others had responded but can't access it from there either. Just another PM glitch:)

It's also possible a Moderator or Oracle accidentally flipped a switch on it.

I know the OP has posted his phone number. Someone might have meant to edit it out.

Or yes it could be a glitch. Here's the original URL (recovered from my email)

Yes that's possible, hopefully OP was able to see the responses via email.

https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/premod/moderationitemspage/tab/rejected @LovesToPM Welcome to the exclusive "quarantine" club. You have caught the *poof* the magic dragon disappearing post bug. You may want to search that to see what has been written on the subject including my recent update on the matter. Let's see if I can successfully give you your personal link to "my unmoderated items". Here's hoping for success at the above link...but be patient I might have to try again.

Edit: Looks good on my end...does it work for you?

LovesToPM — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 20:59:16 GMT

@darlicious still strange. The original post was up for at least 3 minutes, then it was gone.

Yes your link works fine lol.

@LovesToPM I've had posts disappear in all different ways. The spam filter has been allowed to indiscreminently "filter" posts unfettered and as a result the most innocent of posts can get caught up in it. It's going to take some time to teach it some manners and get it to do its job properly.

There's a rumour that attempting to edit a post several times will cause it's removal. It's a strange one. We'll need the special equipment to discern the source.

@will13am C'mon....you should be loving it...its forced me to use well defined paragraphs. No more walls of text! I've managed to go a whole week without having a single post disappear!

That's quite a fetching headgear!

I've had many posts disappear because of editing too quickly (I think), but in this instance there was no editing involved. The system wouldn't allow me to post, which is okay as long as OP got to see some of the other posts with suggestions for his issue, hopefully.

I did edit the OP to remove the phone number. That edit was accepted by the system. Maybe someone else also edited the OP and tried to save it a second time.

@will13am @Luddite

That seems to be a reasonable explanation.

If I recall correctly, the orginal post was pretty lengthy.

And if OP was trying to edit his number out as well... Poof, that's it?

p.s. I hope PM gets a discount for using Khoros.

@LovesToPM The only way to post the original at the moment is to take a screenshot and post that. Although @Tiana_V said they are to be released....i haven't had one disappear since then to test out that theory.

I don't have the orginal post. I didn't quote it cause it seemed quite lengthy and had his phone number on it. Maybe @dabr still has it sitting on this screen.

Re: Where's that post?

darlicious — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:25:58 GMT

@LovesToPM You would have to cover the phone number in the screenshot but your original post should be in your unmoderated items. Is it not? That would be a mystery as to where it disappeared.

Oh wait...i get it the OPs post disappeared? Not yours....maybe the OP just completely removed it and reposted .

Re: Where's that post?

LovesToPM — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:27:10 GMT

@darlicious It's not my post that went missing.

It's was the OP's post that went poof. In any case, it's all back now.

Did someone intervene or was it automatic? No idea.

Re: Where's that post?

darlicious — Tue, 21 Jan 2020 22:29:50 GMT

@LovesToPM Either The OP reposted minus the phone number or maybe the 2 moderators monitoring the spam quarantine released it as promised.
