@Moderators: Just curious...


Recommended Posts

When a reply gets flagged as needing to be approved, why can't we just edit it to fix the issue?

Because I used a word that shouldn't be an issue in the first place ("F edEx"), I went back to edit the post after seeing the "Approval required" red.  But it says the post must be approved before I can edit it! 

That's just wrong!

Not sure how much control the mods have over this ?‍♂️

None.

Best we can do is approve a flagged post, or delete it if it's spam or if deletion has been requested by the OP. 

Particularly egregious crimes against forumdom are passed on to Wookie for summary dismemberment.

A week or two ago (maybe more), I had a post get flagged for automatic moderation.  It was a reply to a post about a certain type of midi data earmarked exclusively for system commands. I'd like to think the moderator who approved the post got a chuckle that the very common portmanteau word triggered the need for moderation.

Maybe things ending in "ex" get flagged.  If it helps prevent whole bunches of spam, I don't mind.

To all the volunteer moderators: Thank you for your service.
