Premoderation

I have an article A61939551 in Peer Review
I made some changes last night and it went into Pre-moderation mode.
Someone today restored the article, I made a few more improvements and it dropped back into pre-moderation.
I think this is a bug.

The article returned, I went into Internet explorer, and removed one full stop. I pressed submit and the article returned to the pre moderation page.

It happens each week with at least one Post article. We've got used to it (although we're not fond of it).

I see that 18 hours have passed and this article has been in and out of moderation a half-dozen times. I would think the moderators would be getting a little tired of it by now.

Is there any chance of fixing this bug? Please? smiley - grovel

It's not just Post articles which are frequently hit by it, but the PS of newbies, too - well, probably, as it's hard to tell. But if they haven't made any posts, yet the PS is hidden, it is likely that they've only edited their PS. Writing an introduction only tzo find it awaiting moderation for no obvious reason is hardly likely to attract people and make them come back to the site.

The article I started this forum on is now safely out of PR
however, one day before It was having problems with only part of it showing.
I made a copy Oklahoma (Revised) to see if it would do the same thing
And the copy was immediately put into Pre-moderation.
I even got an e-mail saying that it was being removed for breaking the rules- but they didn't say which rule.
I wish Moderators would at least tell authors what rule they have broken. Instead they say The rules are located here (hyperlink)
You can rewrite the piece. But they still don't say you broke rule 42
(no spitting)or whatever.

We never get any email. The articles just vanish (maybe they are too long?), then they reappear, then they vanish again willy-nilly.

It's a weekly battle.

Actually that was the first time that article prompted an e-mail.
Back in July when it was doing it wily-nilly it didn't get one.
