Three possibilities:

Chances are your ISO posts were probably moved to the ISO board, which is where ISO's should be posted.

If your ISO contained your email address, some moderators do not allow the posting of email addresses.

If the provider has been delisted, discussion of delisted providers is not allowed.

If none of those seem applicable, send a PM to the board moderator and ask why.

Three times now I have tried posting a message to my regional board seeking info on a provider whose online ads have been around for more than two years, but has no TER reviews. Also, doing a search on her name in the boards reveals no info either.

The problem is, each time, my requests for info have never gotten posted. I'm not sure if I am violating a TER rule, or if the provider has requested no reviews, but surely, it must be okay to discuss someone on the boards or email information privately?

Anyone have any idea what I might have done? I have tried to keep the messages straight-forward, but I seem to have crossed a line or something.

Thanks for any input...

I have PM'd board moderators a number of times and not always received replies ... so you may still not get an answer.

When I was being moderated I normally always got a question posted.  However, if I was replying to a question that was at least half way down the board then more than 50% of the time it never got posted.  It had nothing to do with the content, because sometimes they were very simple replies.  Even if the question was new, sometimes I couldn't get the response posted.  Although to the new questions my reply was posted most of the time.
I am thinking the moderators are sometimes overwhelmed and only take the replies to the newest questions.  It was sort of disheartening to write a nice response to a question (past the half way point down the page) and never seeing it posted.  
Maybe the moderator is just not bothering to post your question, maybe nothing wrong with it at all.
