Re: Forum moderators that approve postings and support
There have been numerous accounts of responses being hacked and changed by a former member who periodically hacks the site and makes changes, answers questions etc.-
Re: Forum moderators that approve postings and support
It's interesting there is no support for the forum. There's a list of suggestions I can give them to make the forum work more efficiently but I don't know who to contact.-

Several members (me included) have posted suggestions for improvement over the past 18 months or more. Our suggestions were even solicted by the Community Team on three different occasions. So far, I've not see any of those ideas implemented. Everything within the site functions (or doesn't) exactly as it did when I first joined. The nature and content of the forum posts, and the participants making those posts, have changed -- but not much else.

Re: Forum moderators that approve postings and support
It is strange as there are "moderators" that will approve your post, but yet there's absolutely
nobody to contact??? -
Re: Forum moderators that approve postings and support
I have made a forum post today and also posted a story and neither one is visible anywhere. Not even when I click on my contributions in my profile.
Does it take a while for the cahe to clear on this forum and then the post will be visible to the public, or what.
I would be very disappointed if the past hour I spent posting on this site was for nothing.
What happens as soon as I click on post? What process is there. Moderator approval, etc?
Thank you

Re: Forum moderators that approve postings and support
A former/inactive member probably still hacks the site. The same thing has happened to me as well. Post again and keep trying. Maybe one will get through when 'that person' is not looking.-
Re: Forum moderators that approve postings and support
Based on the activity and no response leads to 1 reason, it's a Bot.
Bots are software applications that run automated task over the forum.
This is way you don't see any support contact links. That would require a person to work at least part time.
All it does is parse incoming postings to filter out any key phrases that are against the User Agreement and Community Guidelines of this forum..
Very unfortunate for a site with so much potential.

Ways to Make Your Search More Accurate
Most of the time, you just want to find content that has a particular phrase. Here are the easiest ways to find the content you want.
-
Enclose your search phrase in quotes. Search will try to find content with those words in the order you enclosed them. A search for "marketing advice" is going to return content with the phrase "marketing advice".
-
Search for content that has certain words, but not necessarily all of the words in order. This is the most basic search. Simply enter your search terms. For example: accept credit cards This will search for documents containing the words accept, credit, and cards
-
Using OR. The OR operator links two terms and finds a matching document if either of the terms exist in a document. To search for documents that contain either "web design" or just "online marketing" use the query: "web design" OR "online marketing"
- Using AND. The AND operator says that the search should return content in which all of the search terms are present. To search for documents that contain both "web design" and just "online marketing" use a search like this: "web design" AND "online marketing"
