Vidchats Going Into Moderation?

My vidchat comment this week, went into moderation.
Dr. Farrell had said, if this happens to let him know.
Except, I have no means to contact him[no email address]
Probably doesn’t want it “out there”.
So, if someone has a means to contact him for me?
Please do.
Thank you.

Very strange> My first comment went poof!
My second time at bat - it went through.

I just looked, and it is not there, even in the “moderated” form.
Very intersting day.

Somehow posted in todays blog!

Now posted in vidchat for tomorrow; however, still in moderation.

Did my best.
Didn’t give up.
Went to bat three times.
Three pitches.
Hope I didn’t strike out!

He’s not a tech guy so you’d probably want to contact Daniel about that issue.

The Doc will probably take your submission via email and sub it in if sent to him in time.
(my guess)

… or post it here, I’d be interested to see if it would go into moderation if you attempted to post it here. Also, if you wouldn’t mind, please send a copy to me via GIZA mail. I say these things as someone who has been “moderated” on occasion.

Some moderations I can uncover; others, I can’t find the culprit.
In this case, my first submission didn’t go into “moderation”
It just vanished - went “poof”.

My second attempt; written from a mad and/or will get this done mindset.
Well, it did take; but in “moderated” form.
Yet, when I went to look at it - it wasn’t there.
I later found, it had gone to today’s post?
I then went back to the vidchat forum, and did “take three”.

Ther are many “explanations”.
One being my computer acumen.
Yet, the first hit; in my mind, was one from outside…
the “normal” in-house technical suspects.

The other two?
Well, I was mad, and wanted to end this episode as quickly as possible.
So speed kills. And, the results were proof in my quick pudding fix-mix.

It comes down to the first-strike.
From that point on, it was downhill.

Although I completed the task at hand.
The original was gone, and its substitute only & ironically…
substantially equivalent.

Everything in moderation… including moderation :slight_smile:

… yes, the three maxims as enshrined at Delphi encouraged … “Nothing too much”, “Know Thyself”, and “Give a pledge and trouble is at hand”

That could be if the form doesn’t complete the submission process for some reason so question is lost, that is a shame. Best to write up question with regular word processor first to keep record, then can be copied to the form.

With the moderation system for the questions I’m not sure how that works, but they may have some automatic system that will prevent a question from posting if it is suspect of being not appropriate to be published for whatever reason and needs to be manually reviewed by someone before it will be published on the site.

I had this problem, and yes; better to make a copy.
My computer was acting up.
Should have just pushed the comment button, and let the spelling go.
I did just that by my third go around.
Usually don’t have this problem.

In the future; I’ll turn off the computer, if it starts acting up.
No sense chancing it.

In the past Dr. Farrell has been able to turn off something in another room that made the sound so much better. More recently there are portions of vidchat very difficult to understand.

I’m one who thinks that there are purposed interferences from not only establishment players, but others as well. Sure there are the inherent problems endemic to the nature of these vidchats. But also, outside of that are those that purposely interfer in too many ways to Sunday.
Have to hand it to Dr. Farrell to pull through all that flack.
And sometimes; getting hit with unexpected, really tough situations.

We all have these “incidents”.
Some are the cost of doing business.
Some are the cost of going against the narrative grain.

That happened to me once a couple, three years ago. It really spooked me. I didn’t post for a long time after that and am still skiddish.
