Never had am edited post on the Kgirl board go to moderation, and I've only had ONE post randomly moderated, and that was several months ago.
Sometimes I start a post and then have to stop in the middle of it. For example, I may have to take a phone call. It may be fifteen minutes or more until I can get back to finishing the post.
I've found that when it takes me a long time to write a post, it invariably goes into moderation. It may be just my imagination. TER may not even be able to tell how long it took you to write a post when you hit "Post Message." It's only a theory.
Next time you walk away and then come back and finish the post and it sends to moderation, let us know.
We will then look at post and tell you why.....one time chance to find out for sure.
Admin has enough to do without having to look into why a certain post was moderated. It was just a thought about random moderation.
So it doesn't bother me. I'm just not sure what the benefit is to TER. I know they don't have the staff to do much moderation but doing it randomly seems like a waste of their time.
Just happened to me. Mine should be coming up just below this one.
I have gone back and edited a post for typos or misspellings after I posted it. But its not always. Sometimes I add or delete an entire paragraph, and it doesn't go to moderation. Coincidentally, most of the ones that go to moderation for me after editing are on the P & R board. It rarely happens on the other boards. About once or twice a week, I will get a random moderation on one that wasn't edited. I asked Support about it, and they said it was randomly selected by the computer for moderation, so I haven't thought much about it since.
Random moderation does NOT apply to edited posts, which almost ALWAYS go into moderation. In my experience only about one in 100 edited posts DON'T go into moderation. I can't even remember the last time an edited post of mine did NOT go automatically into moderation.
In fact, this is the main reason I rarely edit posts for typos. TER has such a small staff now it takes far too long for an edited post to be approved.
Keep up, will ya?
...they get posted immediately. Otherwise you're right, all edited posts DO go into moderation.

Never had am edited post on the Kgirl board go to moderation, and I've only had ONE post randomly moderated, and that was several months ago.
I limit my posts to the OTHER cesspool known as P&R. LOL
I made a post on this very thread this morning, edited it and it went back "live" immediately, so not ALL edited posts on this board go into moderation.
Let's try it again. I am going to edit this post and lets see what happens.
Post edited to add "BLPOS is a dumbass" lol

Sorry, but once again you are WRONG. lmao
You make this entirely too fucking easy, you know that don't you?
...does it say: "-- Modified on 8/28/2020 1:42:46 PM"
I don't even have to edit my post to add "GlugGlugGambler, the admitted binge and functional (sic) alcoholic is a dumbass."
Once again, GlugGlug is bringing his baggage from the P&R board to this board.
Let me explain this S-L-O-W-L-Y so even an idiot like you will understand.
It says "Modified on 8/28/2020 1:42:46 PM" because that's when I edited it, only a minute or so after I made the post to begin with. Are you REALLY this fucking stupid, or do you just play an idiot on the internet?
And just what does the P&R Board have to do with my post or this thread? P&R was brought up three times on this thread, once by Inicky, once by Laffy, and finally once by you. Want to guess what all three of you have in common?
What we have in common is we find you to be a toxic ass-clown. And we are not alone.
Oh, and feel free to point out ANYTHING on this thread I've said that's incorrect.
Dimwit.
I thought you guys were friends. IIRC, you mentioned in some thread you met him in that 3rd world country he likes to monger in.
But he picked his TDS over the people he claimed were his friends.
and yes, we did meet in Costa Rica, among other places and even argued politics drunk and in person before he allowed his hatred of Trump to blind him. I am hardly the only friend he has lost over the last year or so, but it wasn't a total loss for him, he still has BLPOS and LTM&L to commiserate with, both of whom he claimed to detest before hatred of Trump was the only prerequisite for being his friend.
He fled the thread on P&R rather than respond.
In the earlier versions of the TER GUI, each post had time stamp of DATE AND TIME of the original post. I wish they would go back to that format. This "new" GUI only displays how long ago the post went up and, even that, is in a weird way because it uses the "wall clock", not elapsed time.
.
You will see posts that say:
Handle ... 5 minutes ago ... 2 reads
Handle ... 9 hours ago ... 16 reads
Handle ... yesterday ... 24 reads ... 1 like
Handle ... 3 days ago ... 37 reads ... 2 likes
Handle ... 4 years ago ... 117 reads ... 4 likes
and so on.
.
I have noticed that a post becomes "yesterday" as soon as the clock on the wall at TER HQ passes 12 midnite. That is, if a post goes up 11:58 PM and appears as "1 minute ago", in 3 minutes it will be 12:01 AM of the next day and that 3 minute old post gets labeled "yesterday."
Handle ... 1 minute ago ... 1 read (posting time = 11:58 PM)
Handle ... yesterday ... 2 reads (it is now 12:01 AM of the next day but it's only 3 minutes of elapsed time)
.
Oh ... so there is SUPPOSED to be a way to see the original posting time by hovering over the time or subject line or clicking or something but it has never worked for me. The only way I know of to find the time stamp on a post is to hit the Reply button and that the more detailed posting time info will appear for all to see.
.
But there is still a big mystery factor as far as I can tell. E.g., let's say that original posting time says,
"8/28/2020 6:42:26 AM" and goes live with no moderation. I think that that time, 6:42:26 AM, is the time the post goes live, not the time that the poster began composing the post NOR the time the poster hit "Post Message".
.
Let's say you see some stuff you want to edit (as I am doing to this post), so you start editing exactly 2 hours later, i.e., 8:42:26 AM (there is a 3? or 4? hour window within which posts remain editable). THAT post goes into random or "it was edited" moderation and it gets an automatic time stamp IN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE. As far as I can GUESS, the time stamp in the body of the message, put there by the TER software, is not the time of the EDIT but the time that post goes live, after moderation.
.
So, I think there IS a way to see how long a post stays in moderation (even "zero" moderation) by checking the time stamps. ... If it works that way I think it works.
.
Submit message at 00:00:00.
Message goes live at 00:00:00 OR maybe delayed to 00:11:11.
I think the time stamp of the OP is the time that the message goes live.
Edit message at 02:22:22 and submit to repost at 02:33:33.
Message goes live at 02:33:33 OR maybe delayed to 04:44:44.
I think the "modified on" time added to the body of the message will be 04:44:44, not 02:33:33.
.
Anybody?

That does not appear to be the case. I have had edited post active immediately without moderation on several boards and I have had edits posts to the K-Girl board go to moderation.
that I edited and it DIDN'T go to moderation, but another one did. Not sure if we agree or not. Your headline said, "no," but then you said it "almost" always goes to moderation. "Almost" I would agree with.
Ok, let's see if this edit causes my post to go into moderation. I am betting NO.

In my experience very few of my posts go into random moderation just because I decided to edit them. Yes, it does happen at times, and I have noticed that it seems to be rather streaky, sometimes I will go weeks without a post going into random moderation and then I'll get three in a row that all go into moderation queue.
As for the OP, in my experience taking too long to finish a post doesn't send it into random moderation, but it often results in my getting "logged off" of TER due to too long a period of inactivity which means the entire post will be lost if I don't remember to "copy" the text of my post if I get distracted by a phone call and it takes me 15 minutes or longer from the time I start my post and the time I hit "post message"
Not really a problem for me. But sometimes I do wonder why when almost all of my posts go live immediately. None of the moderated posts I have sent over the last several months were ever declined. I just assumed that Admin has some random selection criteria to pick a few posts an (hour/day?) to ensure "regulars" aren't straying from TOS guidelines. At least that's what I'd do if I had to monitor posts with limited resources.

When you press reply, you are taken to a page that has a form for you to fill in and submit
When a form is submitted, there is no information passed on how long it took to write your post. Well your session may expire and you'll be forced to relogin if you took too long but that'd about it.
Technically, if one has access to logs of these requests, they can figure out how long it took from the first request to submission.
But this goes way beyond regular moderation so it's not feasible.
I've noticed random moderation isn't so random. Some specific words in my posts seem to trigger review a lot more than others. Or maybe it's just confirmation bias.
