      And @ryszard's last post at 1325 wasn't held? It was full of numbers, punctuation, abbreviations and degree symbols. It seems there's something a bit odd or unstable about the spam filtering - unless it doesn't trap the Polish language. 😉

        I don't speak Polish, dzenkuye bardzo*:)*

        A couple of your latest posts (including the above one) seems not to have shown up on the main page. What's wrong with you?

          Maybe it all has something to do with finally getting the gold trophy badge. We'll see what happens with your posts as soon as you get a white one. 😉

            Nah.
            My posts usually lift the thread up and are shown on the index page. Yours don't seem to be. Like this last one, too.

              Perhaps I'm being shunned... sigh...

              Edited to add: although this post elevated to the top of the index...

                  The helling maching definitely doesn't like my Russian weather reports. Made in Brazil?😉

                    I noticed that ... I think probably not enough recognizable words.

                      What!
                      A guy posts there in a Slavic language only (copypaste) - that goes with flying colours. Should I post in Chinese?😕

                        Approved posts are held for editing again. Is it normal?

                          It needs editing there: "childing" to "childish".

                            Yes. Spammers often post non-spam posts, then edit them to add spam links in an effort to "fool" spam filters. I've seen this on the forums many times. And so, all posts go through the spam filter even if it's an edited post that's been approved earlier.

                              The post in question was edited by myself - held in that way. Now I can't see the edit took place, and the editing time's expired...
                              Nah, sorry, it's o'k.

                                The "catch" with that is the half-hour timer for editing. Either it expires during moderation or the unpredictable turn-around time for moderation means a user probably doesn't realize that it's been released from jail until hours later. In which case, the edit timer is still usually expired. Maybe there simply isn't a good solution. 😕

                                  No, the timer wasn't expired. But the post got held again, and I didn't know if the edit was gonna be fulfilled. It did eventually, but no idea as whether it was approved or done manually by a good person.

                                    Well, I submitted a post yesterday, in the 'Lounge', the topic being on page 2. It was held, then approved, but the problem is the topic didn't up, and nobody presumably would see the update - except for me personally, 'cause I knew it was to appear.

                                      That seems to be normal operation for these forums. I see the same thing happen in topics where I get trapped for moderation. For somewhat older threads, it can be a major issue (particularly for long moderation hold times), since the prior thread posters may never see an update has occurred as the index listing scrolls off the bottom. Moreover, the lower-left-corner user notifications about postings can be very "iffy", both in terms of how soon/often they appear and how short their viewing time before they forever evaporate. I wish it all were otherwise with the forum's protocols, but it seems not to be.

                                        Hmm. All 3 out of my 3 prior posts today are blocked for moderation. Have you tightened up the filters a bunch or am I just a favorite target at the moment?

                                        Edited to add: at least this one got through.
