Question

Excessive moderation

I replied to 3 topics this morning over 2 hours. The first 2 are held awaiting moderation but are yet to "approved".

I note from comments in a thread on the Announcements section that others are having this issue.

Why is this getting much worse and why aren't you or InSided telling us when you make these Draconian changes?

Do you not realise you irritating it is?

    They can't even tell the difference between a new poster who may be spamming and a poster with over 10,000 posts who probably isn't here to spam. Do you really expect them to be able to curb email notifications. Surely you jest! 😉

      This is evidently a 'learning' filter. Someone perhaps ought to review the curriculum. I just hope it can 'unlearn'.

      The email is triggered by the post, but the moderation takes place afterwords. I know it's a bit clunky.

      We've been talking with InSided about ways to improve the filter. It's supposed to be learning as it goes, and each time something is pulled out, it learns, along with when things go into it and are left there.

      Hopefully it gets a bit less aggressive on the false positives. It's been brought up before but the filter is only at the post level, so it doesn't take into account who posts. This might be something to see for the future sometime. I'm hoping it is.

      To be honest I'm not necessarily bothered that some of my posts get moderated.
      To say the subscribed e-mail alert Vs a post held in a moderating is NOT clunky. It's a poor piece of programming and I'm not going to insult the developers by stating it's an easy fix but I would like it fixing.

        I posted a question asking if there are forum terms of service over 12 hours ago. That post was sent for moderation and has now disappeared. What is happening here?
