Help posting a thread

Discussion in 'Empty Closets Help and Feedback' started by pinklighthouse, Sep 26, 2014.

  1. Hi, I recently joined the site a few minutes ago. I went ahead and posted a thread, but it is not showing. Did I do something wrong? Or is there usually a waiting period between posting and it being available online?

    After I submitted it, a box quickly popped out stating that someone had to review it? However, I just posted this thread and it is available online. So, I am a bit confused as to what occurred to the 1st thread I posted under the sexual and romantic orientation forum.

    Hi pinklighthouse,
    Because we get a lot of inappropriate or spam posts from new accounts, any posts by a new member (a member with less than 5 posts or so) that contains key terms that are commonly used when rulebreaking (e.g. "porn", for advertising; "Facebook", for sharing contact information, etc.) are automatically put into a moderation queue. This allows the staff to preview threads with the potential to break the rules.

    Genuine new threads (like yours) sometimes get caught in the filter, but we do also catch a lot of posts with contact information or advertisements in them.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. Your thread has been approved.
     
  3. Thanks TJ! I was so unsure that I tried re-posting. Sorry about that, guess simply ignore my second re-post!
