Members on Time Delay

Post by jackspratt » February 15, 2022, 9:53 pm

Can posts which have been delayed for vetting be posted with the time they are approved and actually appear?

Ha ha. I'd quite like a list of who is on time delay. I've picked up that 747man, Giggle :lol: and Whistler seem to be on time delay. Any others?

Not just time delay, quite a few of my posts simply never appear. I stopped posting for around 6 months after some particularly vile posts where I had my posts blocked. The vile poster got a short holdiday on the black list, then given freedom to post after a short time.

I got banned for calling somebody an idiot (I am not the only one who made that assessment), the poster who abused me called me a c**t. He got a few weeks, mine is ongoing from the middle of last year. Go figure. Seems the length of the holiday is quite arbitary, so far more than 9 months and counting.

Nearly all of your posts appear. If any do not, the system should notify you of that fact as well as the reason. Check your PMs. Also check your email today, please. I will write you an email further explaining.

Sure, we can do that. Be aware, however, that I am currently on the east coast of the U.S. and will be for a bit, so for the posts that I handle, that will be the date and time that you see.

My apologies - I should have made myself clearer in what I was trying to achieve.

Which is, once a delayed post has been approved, can that be the time it appears on the Forum - not the time it was originally posted.

At the moment, when a post is responded to in real time, the response can lose all context when a delayed post then appears between the two.

I realise the delayed post may also lose context, but perhaps that is a penalty for being on time delay.

Not a matter of great importance - just a suggestion. :D

Not a bad suggestion, either. Makes total sense. Unfortunately, we don't have the ability to make that type of change to the database system. The timestamp is created at the time that the post enters the system. Prior to approval, it's in the system as a post hidden from public view, but still in the database.

Are you on time delay Alexo? I think you have been before but I'm not sure of your current status.

Now that’s not strictly true is it.
I’ve just been through the deluge of emails you sent me (I know, I know, nothing better to do) & not once have you answered why I’m being moderated despite numerous requests as to why.
Feel free to read them again if you disagree 👍

I think you were on delayed posting for a while? Justice caught up with you? :lol:

Yes, my posting style is more slippery. I can't be bothered engaging in long term spats with others and just disengage fairly early. If you endlessly niggle Whistler, perhaps you risk a return to the rogue's gallery.

Finally an admission.

Ah yes a slippery character, quite often in ENZED used alongside a slimy character.

adjective. You can describe someone as slippery if you think that they are dishonest in a clever way and cannot be trusted. [disapproval] He is a slippery customer, and should be carefully watched.

If you describe a person as slimy, you mean that the person appears to be friendly but cannot be trusted and is not sincere: He was really a slimy character.

Hi Barney. How are you?

You've been niggling me for years and I've never really bothered responding. I'll remain slippery and not bother engaging. I can't be bothered having a posting wrestle with you across thread after thread.

Actually, it is true. I explained to you what the problem was and offered to remove your limitation if you would agree not to repeat the type of posting that was problematical. You wouldn't. The offer still stands.

The conversation has been interesting, but I think that this thread has served its purpose. I'll be happy to engage privately with anyone who would like to continue the conversation. [email protected].
