I've noticed that in spam not that you mention it so it's understandable. As I don't write in any non-Roman character language I doubt I'll even encounter the issue again! Thanks.

I posted a reply a couple days ago and it still hasn't been approved. I'm a new user. What do I do?

Can you share which forum you posted in? Then, we can contact the forum Moderator, or in the absence of one (or if on holiday) we can reach out to the Senior Moderators.

Thanks!

I'm also having trouble getting a post approved. The post is in Miles&Points > Car Rental Programs and Ride Services->National Emerald Club. Thanks for the help.

Give it time.
Moderators are volunteers and have a life outside FT:- work, family, sport, sleeping, drinking, eating & some even have been known to travel in aircraft. Also may be in a different time zone

I've brought this to the forum Moderator's attention.

If it remains stuck, let us know so we can investigate further.

Thank you for your patience.

JDiver, Co-Moderator

It was here and still isn't visible:

Miles&Points > Airlines and Mileage Programs > Air France, KLM, and Other Partners | Flying Blue > KLM Flying Dutchman

Il'll forward this to the Senior Moderator tea,.

Hello,

I created the following thread http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other...ngen-help.html
with the hope of getting some help.
However, when I click on it now, my message doesn't show. When I try to post a reply, it states my thread may have been flagged. I read the posting rules and there was nothing in the post to justify this! Although, of course, it could just be a glitch.

Any help would be much appreciated. It was my first post on the site.

Thanks all!

Did you include a URL or image?

Did you edit your post? (Given there were 21 views, I suspect you may have edited your post. Even if it was originally approved by a Senior Moderator, editing a new member's post returns it to the moderation queue.

If either, the post probably has gone to the moderation queue. As the forum has no appointed moderators, the notice goes to the Senior Moderators. I'll notify them as well.

Sorry for the inconvenience; FlyerTalk has had to limit new members in this way because we have a number of folks and bots signing up to spam.

Ahh, I see! Yes, I made an edit as I forgot to include the airline. I then went back to see if I could edit the thread title as I messed up the airport abbreviation, but I don't think I can do that anyway.

I completely understand about the bots and whatnot. Thanks for explaining!

I did also include a link, but it was to an official website regarding the Schengen rules. This appears to be within the FlyerTalk guidelines though.

Absolutely, it is.

But let's say "early" posts with inclusions like URLs or images (we've found too many that include trackers, etc.) get quarantined, and new members are throttled back on the number of Private Messages they can send (for similar reasons). It usually takes little time for a Moderator to approve (or otherwise deal with) it.

Meantime, your post got stuck in queue though it got approved. The note to the Senior Mods worked and l'etoile ultimately duplicated your post and thread. You can find them here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/other...ngen-help.html.

Fortunately, even though we're all volunteers, there's great teamwork and these issues usually are promptly addressed. Apologies for the bother you experienced. You've already received some useful answers.

I noticed this appears to be the case for Kanji characters as well. I quoted this post, including the characters for ekiben, and seem to have triggered the alert as well.

Thankfully this thread came up in a search and now I know.

Problems with posts (new member & moderation queue - to merge)
 

Some of my posts are getting deleted and some are not getting approved by mods for some reason, while others are automatically let through... can someone help me with this?

Thank you!:)
