I know it can take some hours to get it approved but can I get the whole message of my post if not approved so I can make the necessary changes to it?

Time is of the essence for this particular issue so I'd really appreciate if you could approve or get back to me ASAP.

Moderators are
  • volunteers
  • have a life outside of FT
  • may be in a different time zone to you

A post edited by a newbie may go back to the moderation queue for another check .
Be patient

Thanks.

Could you please specifically identify in which forum you posted, Gabbr? I assume from your posting history that the forum in which you posted is the Qatar Airways | Privilege Club forum.

Chances are that the forum in which you posted has specific moderators assigned to it; and they are listed at the bottom of the forum home. Please contact them with your request; and they should be more than happy to accommodate.

As a moderator of the Hilton | Hilton Honors forum, I cannot assist you if you posted in the Qatar Airways | Privilege Club forum or a different forum...

Thank you for the clarification, Canarsie.
Yes, I tried to post under QR Forum and also tried messaging their official contact here to no avail.
Thanks for your input, anyway.

I tried to post in the qatar Airlines forum, and every single post that was queued for moderation never got approved.
None of the posts had any links/images or other offensive material, and I do not know how to check status of posts, or why they never got approved

So frustrating. Probably this forum is not for me.

You should now have your posts approved.

Please understand all of our mods are volunteers and do have differing schedules. New users also have their posts automatically go to the mod queue, but this stops after a certain number of posts.

Perfectly understand that they are volunteers.
BUT if they cannot approve posts in WEEKS ( not days or hours) then maybe they should not signup as volunteers?

What you experienced was atypical. Normally posts are approved within hours. It's also possible it was simply a technical fluke in the system.

Solved thanks!

Disappeared post
 
Hello, I'm new here and posted a trip report last night. It was approved and then disappeared, but I can still see the title listed on the subforum - there's just no post when you click the link, which is odd as I can see the view count. Please could I check if this is normal?

Any attachments?

I can explain what happened. Posts from new members sometimes go into a queue to be approved by a moderator to prevent spam posts. Your post went into a queue and my fellow moderator approved it. When you edited the post it went into a queue again. I have just approved it again so it should be visible.
