I’m just wondering why I all of a sudden am getting a message that I need a moderator to approve my post before it appears on the site? This is on a thread that I started, and it is the only thread/comment that it has ever happened to me with. Has anyone else run into this?
[name]Hi[/name] kathrynsarah,
I just got the same message, which I have never had before, and didn’t have a few days ago, and I find it totally bizarre. I don’t uinderstand why this has been implemented, or if this is a glitch of some sort? I mean, why bother having the option of reporting posts if al of them are going to be moderated anyway?
[name]Hugh[/name]/nameberry - any explanation?
Thanks
Bex
[name]EDIT[/name]: Interestingly enough, this post was posted immediately! Weird.
I’ve just gotten the message today, I don’t know what it means, maybe it’s just a glitch?
Yep, I got it, too. Only my comment (not this one, obviously) still hasn’t posted.
@frustrated author - me too, it’s been over a day now and it’s still not appearing. Most unhappy!
From my limited understanding if certain terms or words are used in a post, it will automatically have to be approved by an Admin/Mod before showing. Certain words trigger the moderation, sometimes swear words or things with adult content.
It happened to me here too a few weeks back, I posted about how I wanted to co-sleep with future children I might have in the Momberries section and I got a message saying my post needed to be approved. No idea why.
This has happened to me twice, and neither of my (totally appropriate) posts have shown up yet, even though one of them was like two weeks ago. Annoying.
Hmm, that’s interesting. I don’t believe I put anything inappropriate in the post, and I also don’t think it was ever put up, which frustrates me a little more. Oh well, I guess it’s just time to move on.
I just got this message for the first time today too after trying to post a baby name game post! Pretty sure I didn’t toss in any naughty words!
I got the message for the first time today too. There weren’t any bad words in my post, but there was a link to a site where someone was pronouncing a name, and when I took that like out, it let me repost fine. It wasn’t Forvo, it was one I’ve not used before, so maybe it wasn’t a good site and nameberry didn’t approve?
