How long does it take mods to approve a thread? I been waiting for approval since Saturday on a simple thread, in the Offtopic section.
I normally check the offtopic a couple times per day. However, this time of year we are extremely swamped. If we remove the moderation you will see the tons of spam that end up in the offtopic sections. If you don't see your posts, just pm me and I'll take care of it. Occasionally, I have accidentally deleted message because they blended with the sea of spam I was deleting. Poorshot, I looked for moderated posts by you and didn't find any. It is possible I accidentally deleted it. :frusty: Just go ahead and repost it. The Offtopic Moderated forum is a necessary evil that we all just have to deal with for now. The alternative is worse. I'm sure most of the regulars remember the spam we were getting in there.
I do kind of miss the ads for paris hilton pics, ED drugs, and where to get my perscriptions filed for free though :lol:
i sent one a week ago also but it did not make it through.... i figured Chris was busy or didnt like my topic :Cry:
Sometimes the baby gets thrown out with the bath water. It's not personal, it just happens sometimes when I'm deleted 20-30 spam messages per day. You can PM me regarding your posts and I'll got look for them and approve them.
Chris, Have you thought about enlisting a couple of the regulars to help with screening topics? Having a few helpers would free you up to do site maintenance and upgrades and maybe get out and shoot! I've watched a couple very nice forums fall on hard times when the CEO burned himself out trying to do everything by himself. If you start now, when the site is not so busy, you can have a cadre of folks in place when traffic picks up.
