Thanks storm.....

Have read different explanations on this over on the GD board over time.  And very, VERY astute picking up on the one word change, five and a half hour drive with both kids in the car yesterday and by the time I got to "me time" last night, my entire thought process was pretty much shot bud.

...is that someone with a lesser posting history goes through a more stringent pre-posting review of their comment than someone who has an extensive history of posting without being reported.  I don't know if it is true, but I have read it more than once.

It is also staffing and workload related.  If TER has less people approving posts and a lot of posts coming through at a given moment, there will obviously be a bottleneck.

When you first posted, your post mentioned "review posting history." I was going to reply that reviews have nothing to do with board posting moderation, before your post disapeared. I guess you edited to change "less reviews" to "lesser posting history." That is still incorrect. There is no "more stringent pre-posting review" of someone with lesser posting history. Every new poster is moderated. Period.

The amount of time it takes a post to go up is dependant on staffing and workload. The second part of your post is correct.

There's not anyone dedicated to approving posts at TER, it's probably handled by anyone who happens to be working around that time. I'm going out on a limb on this, but their system is probably highly inefficient. The number of posts on here in a day is far less than the number we deal with in a single minute with a very, very small dedicated staff (i.e. they only moderate posts and answer customer support email), but those kinds of efficiency improvements typically aren't considered by smaller organizations - despite them being a small yet worthwhile investment.

Meaning that the TER staff has to approve your post before it gets posted on the board.

Once you start posting more often and build a posting history, you can contact the site and request that your posts be "unmoderated."

When you are a new poster all your posts are moderated. Sometimes a moderated post goes up in minutes and sometimes it takes hours, depending on staff. Once you establish a posting history you can ask them to unmoderate you, (using the "contact us" button), then your posts will go up instantly. But if you break their posting rules you can be moderated again.

...moderated (your posts on the boards have to be read & approved before they actually post.) After some time when you have a posting history showing you can abide by the board rules you can be unmoderated whereupon your posts will go up immediately. (Lately there has been an as yet unexplained phenomena whereby unmoderated members will suddenly have one of their posts moderated followed by the next post going up right away.)

I don't know how long you have been a member and if you are a regular poster or not but those things do impact your being moderated or not.

You may contact TER admin and request to be unmoderated if you feel that you have established yourself on the boards. Use the contact us link at the bottom of the page.  

The previous poster is correct that how long it takes for a moderated post to go up is dependent on the board admin, how many there are at any one time and how much there is to read and approve.

I was certain there was an earlier reply. I referred to it in my post.

Then consider we all replied within 2 minutes of each other.

You're not imagining things x!   I was planning to reply to him that his reply was incorrect, right after I replied to the OP. But when mine posted, I saw that biz's post was up (saying the same as me) and the other (incorrect) post was gone!

Just to clarify, the now missing post had correct info about timing due to workload or whatever, but the incorrect part of his statement had to do with reviews, as reviews have absolutely nothing to do with board posts.

...I'm thinking OK I'm losin' it!  Glad to know I haven't lost it after all. No, we will not debate that! Now stop snickering!

Funky stuff, that was mine.  I had chosen a word that I didn't mean to choose, made my message a little ambiguous and I am OCD about that shit so I edited it.  And then it disappeared instead of coming back.

Sorry for the confusion, no idea why it didn't re-post right away.  Will try and get my anal-retentiveness back under control.

the length of approval time.  If you post during the busy times, approval will be slower.
