Post deleted? Why?!?

[Leaving]

My post was deleted.

I hit post and it's not there.

I don't want to type it all again!  

Unacceptable!!!

really no clue when it got into that box.  But do you agree might be any http link might be the issue?

earlier i thought posting an external http got it "filtered", but my latest "filtered" message was a the direct link to message the moderator (haha, or maybe PM wants us not to put that http link any more LoL)

Hi @softech 

@darlicious has a very extensive post about this from last year.  (see response prior)

Alot of folks have noticed (and it becomes 2nd nature to tap "POST" twice) that after the first tap, a message pops up something to the effect that HTML removed, then after hitting a 2nd time the post almost always posts.

Maybe the PM system is somehow glitching after the first tap and instead of filtering the message, it just sends it to quarantine.

Again, I pass onto @darlicious (the "poof" Master) for any speculation on this one...

@Leaving 

Its always the posts tha you work long and hard at that go **poof** in the night..... The one change I made that made the biggest difference was breaking my posts into nicely spaced paragraphs even when it should just be one.....I make 2 or even 3 paragraphs.

My work around for the posts in your unmoderated items list since they cant be edited and reposted as @softech has discovered is to take a screenshot of your post and post that....the spam filter can't make that disappear! Mind you if its objectionable the oracles or moderators could make it disappear in a whole different way!

If you would like to read more about  how to avoid the spam filter and some history on it heres my thread on the subject...

Welcome to the slightly less exclusive "Quarantine Club". Its getting a little crowded in there but the vaccine seems to be pretty effective you will get it in due time......just takes awhile to take affect.

Don't believe there is a way to delete them @softech 

I'm guessing they will purge themselves eventually.

@HALIMACS   I got some items in my "Unmoderated box" , how to delete those items?  I tried to just edit and re-post.. it didn't work.  And there is no Delete choice either. any suggestions?

Now, what do I do? 😕

@Leaving   Just learned it through time that that's where the majority of unposted items go that 'disappear'.   One user calls it going "poof".

Difficult to say why it was rejected - it doesn't mean you did anything wrong, just has to do with incompatible formatting based on what may be part of the rejected post.

If you want to re-post it.  Simply copy the contents and paste them into the thread where you wanted them posted.   You can try to edit the item in the link i sent, but sometimes even that doesn't work.   Easier to just copy/paste and re-post it.

Looks like the Auto Spam Filter removed it automatically.

Hi @Leaving 

It may have been sent to the 'rejected items' list.

Sometimes it has to do with formatting errors.
