Moderation 2

Hello Phil72

We're sorry we were late approving your posts. A lot of staff have been in training today and yesterday so we were short-staffed. I have approved your posts now.

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Kind regards

Deirdre

Thank you Deirdre

I noticed something the other day. Your thread was at the top of the page and apparently you had made a change fairly recently but when I went to view the post their was nothing new. I thought maybe you changed the TItle or did something untoward to bump your Diary up to the top of the page.

I found that annoying. Gamcare should do something to stop threads from appearing at the top while the posts are being moderated.

It may have been a moderated post placed within the diary because annoyingly, they get put in @ the point that they are posted...& actually if that is what happens now, I prefer it, I think that @ least gives people a chance to know there is a new one!

Unfortunately moderated posts don't show unless you are the last one to comment, but you can as degen said bunk say the time stamp up by changing your modified post . Which admin if your reading I've never done obviously . So yes it's possible to modify a modified post in a nut shell

Erm all I can I say politely is I don't understand the posts above. I don't "bump". though. Best wishes, Phil.

lol I posted before Deano....

Shall I start writing down the times I posted??!! eg 10.08? Just kidding or maybe it's a good idea? 🙂

Just to clarify:

Gamcare doesn't spend all day checking my or other people under moderation's posts. They check and post them if considered acceptable 3 times a day I believe so I might write something at 11am but it won't get approved and posted until 2pm for example and will appear as the first post in the specific section even if was written before more recent posts by other forum users. I do not "bump" as I know it is considered bad form.

I think what I've written above explains Gamcare's policy. I'm not happy to be under moderation but I accept the decision and reflect on the reasons why I am. Best wishes, Phil @ 11.50!

Its good to try and see things from others perspectives. Not always an easy task so hats off to you Phil. Tri @ 17:36

Cheers Trish. Phil @ 17.49

Trish? I meant Tri! Phil @ 9.47

Hopefully last night's diary entry will appear sometime today 🙂
