Hey Moderators, what gives with posting?

[BenWarhawk]

What's up with the now consistant having your messages approved for posting vice the system that you had before.

If it was a change due to the number of rude or crude remarks being left - don't punish the ones who do not condone that action to begin with, punish the guilty parties by MAC address filtering or through deleting their accounts as necessary.

By in large this has become rather frustrating...especially when you consider that I do not post frequetly to begin with.

Regards....

[Sarah]

Hey Ben!
I understand that you are not a brand new member here, as you registered in February, but these are your first series of posts, so they're in the queue.


All new members get a 1-3 week moderation period where mods check all your posts before putting them up and check all your threads. Rarely is the moderation period more than a week, but for some it does take that long. If some of your posts are against rules they will not be posted.

You should have received this mail when joining:

" Welcome to PiratesOnlineForums.com!

We are the biggest & best PG rated fan site community for the Disney online game Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

PLEASE READ
Your account is in a moderation queue, this means the moderators will need to "accept" all of your posts. This happens to all new members until we see that you are ready to post on your own. Normally it will take 1-3 weeks so feel free to post normally as your posts will appear once they are accepted. Please only submit your posts once, when they are accepted they will show up.

We have many forums here for you to obtain information and help while playing Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Online that include Guides, help with finding items, quests and much more.

Now that you are a registered member you have the ability to obtain membership to various Group sections of piratesonlineforums.com. You can find out what memberships you are eligible for by navigating to your User CP and clicking on the Group Memberships link and joining the group.

Sorry if that was all long and wordy....

Their forum, their rules. :shrug: I don't mind as I'm a mod and admin over at our Guild Site (Guild for Uru, not POTC) so I understand quite a bit where the mods are coming from.

I can understand having an urgent question though. In that case I'd suggest for noobs who don't want to wait until a Mod approves your urgent posted question, that instead you PM the Mod's themselves. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to try and answer your question right away.

Or you could try PM'ing another member that you might see listed online right then.

Hello Sarah,

Thank you for your rapid reply - I do understand your position; unfortunately these are not my first posts...they are more like numbers 10 and up....the others must have been lost in the crash.

No worries - I'm not the type to cause too much trouble......

[Sarah]

AH, if that's the case, then you need this:

Oh yea some accounts where put back on moderation queue after the crash hope it gets fixed for you

[Swash]

Yea I remember when i was in moderation queue it lased about 2-3 days.

[AR_FiberNeoPirate]

Yea, whatever the person who posted this is talkin about, the moment i read this i was like,"oh yea, i agree." LOL because they give people grief even if it's something simple as posting something, or asking them a question, even when it CLEARLY says:
"If you have any questions on, posting images or anything like that MESSAGE A MOD-ER-RATOR!" Ok, not exact quote but yea. I'mannoyed too. But not as annoyed (this isn't about meh lol) :P but it became it- anyway, aww man this is frustrating =/ thank you for posting this

AS this is a thread about site information - I'll be moving it to the Site Feedback Zone for proper posting

As for modding accounts - its your safety as well as ours. Many accounts here go dormant then wake up one day trying to spam and flood the forums... innocent accounts which no one thinks of...

This protects everyone from that mess - and keeps the ship running s-m-o-o-t-h (and I kile a smooth ruinnin' ship )

[BenWarhawk]

No worries, and thanks for your assistance. I just was able to check through the postings tonight (work has been crazy lately).

Max - just to give you a little hint about me, I retired from the USMC; that's the way my ship runs.

Well if the USMC didn't run smooth - we'd all be in trouble Glad to see you got some time to check on the forums (real life - it gets busy at times )

[Captain Seaford]

I was confused with the queue too. But it only lasted about a week or so. Because one of my posts had something in it which it shouldn't of had...but I didn't know and I learned my lesson!
