The first is that while I am not moderated (to my knowledge), about one in every five or so posts I make are held for a few minutes, at least, before going up.

I've noticed it too.
Though I didn't pay too much attention since it's been a few since I was as active.

And yes; TER does “randomly” moderate even those who are UN-moderated.

Perhaps you were not affected before because you have been using classic, and now you are using new TER more often since Classic always seems to be down. However, I don't ubderstand how you wouldn't even know about these things since there have been so many threads about this and you have even posted on some of them.

to get my posts posted. For instance, if I want to say: "You're an asshole" (not talking about you, Mr. Fish). I say: "Hey Pussy! You're an asshole" Most of my posts slide right on through.

About 1 out of every 5 of my posts go up after 90 minutes or so...the others about 5-15 minutes, and very few up right away. So I assume I'm moderated.

It actually started almost exactly two years ago when all the other changes (like getting rid of the real mods) were made.  Since then there's been random moderation of individual posts.  They get held until one of the current admin people read and approve them.  The ability to edit posts and have them come right up unmoderated also started then.  In the old days, all such posts were moderated to keep people from changing their posts in order to make subsequent posters look stupid.
As for why mrfisher hasn't noticed this, please be merciful.  He just got married and it may have caused some sort of dementia.

They usually do it.  Even for those who exude foulness.

WTF are you doing here in The Monkey House?

If you're moderated, you're moderated.  If you're not then it makes no difference how nasty your posts are.  They go right up.  The only way they'll disappear is if someone complains.
Oh, and it's "Fuck board."  Only HooktardGold is allowed to use asterisks, because she's such a P*ssy.

I was unmoderated until my new alter ego as ADJ.

Moderated! Moderated, Confusion 06660

But I have noticed that the overwhelming influx of mangina based posts is disconcerting.

Should I assume you aren't thirding the motion?

I don't think I've ever posted anything nasty. I'm generally pretty chill.  Maybe that's the problem?

Yes, I have seen randomness in posts appearing. Looks like my posts that begin threads take a bit longer (5-15 minutes) than replies.

he seems to be "pretty chill", as he states. A good egg on the Philly board.

Second, dude, get over your mangina hatred...embrace your inner mangina, like yoga.

And my point is your little scheme is not necessary and does not work.  I don't think they "skim" the posts.  Posts just randomly go into moderation.  Nothing you put into them makes them more or less likely to do so, though there are certain subjects/words they key on.  But "Pussy" ain't one of them.  Bank on it.

It's not too often when somebody gets terribly excited there.  Seems like a good place for the resident mangina group to have their meetings at.

I know that Jean valjean was quite the manly man.  He single handedly caused the suicide of LE...I don't think many mangina boys here are going to get any LE to commit suicide.  They may have a few readers here however ready to strangle them  LOL

I don't think they got their first aid kit and especially not the AED yet! I hear it's on order.
You know how slow TER is at implementing these suggestions.

I seem to recall reading that some of the older guys thought it was really an AED type icon.

I don't mind a few minutes delay in the posting; this isn't a chat room.  I'd prefer more moderating if it would get the trolls and haters off the forum.  There seems to be a lot of hostility here at times.  Clearly, these people aren't relaxing in the style that TER is about!  This is supposed to be fun...

It would be quite simple for the Admins to clear any hostility out of here...if that is what they wanted to do.

There are days when most of my posts are held for a few minutes. It may be nothing more than the site being overloaded and posts sitting in a queue waiting to be activated. I've questioned TER a number of times and all they say is I'm not moderated. Must be site slowness.

too long a post...  sometimes opening another window to research a topic or acronym...   It's probably triggering a protective mode.  I'm cool with it.  It usually goes up in very few minutes

It would be a strange policy if that is the case. Nothing would surprise me though. Likely some form of lag though.

After all ask around I am the biggest nonhuman around. Just ask GaGambler.

And on behalf of the Professional Hobbyists Association....

When I first joined, it seemed like all my posts were held for review. After time, the posts went to the board immediately. If I would post something that was disapproved, then subsequent posts would be delayed. After a bit, I was back to having my posts go up right away.

I'll discuss with Admin about making sure that you're the President of the new Mangina board.

My guess is that the monitor have no hard and fast rules to follow and that they do their best to be on the lookout for poison posts rather than set up or follow strict policies.
