h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

can you pls tell me how much longer i will be on pre-mod? i have been off line for nearly a week, aint posted anything offencive and unlikely too so could i come off premod as it's not really worth my while been on here while im still on pre-mod

Hi!

I'm afraid that I can't answer your question, and you won't receive an answer on site: the current policy is not to discuss Moderation decisions on h2g2 itself.

However, you may, if you wish, discuss the matter in private with the Editors by sending a *polite* reply to the email you received when you were initially placed on premoderation.

I hope that helps!

Hi DemonMaster,

moderation decisions are never discussed onsite.

If you contact them directly via email then they will be able to let you know more. They will have sent you an email to let you know the circumstances leading to their decision - so if you reply to that.

Guess i was too slow!!

RHO + mort. thanx for info, unfortunatly i havnt got the email they sent me telling me why i was put on pre-mod, will i reply on another one? ie one explaining why a post was removed??

*admires the efficiency of the Moderators tonight*

That's unusual - you should have received an email explaining why you were placed on premoderation.

Yes, you could reply to any other Moderation email, as they are all received by the same Editors, and you could, instead of or in addition to requesting that the premoderation be lifted, ask for a copy of the premoderation email to be sent to you again.

ditto!

well they did send me emails explaining but i deleted them, i think i have one from them that i kept just for the email addy so i'll reply to that n ask if my pre-mod can be lifted,
yep my posts seem to be showing up pretty darn fast tonight but then no ones really on line in the threads that i posted in, if they was on i'm sure that the delay in moderating them wouldnt be so quick
thanx once again to you both

It is not all that unusual for moderation emails to go astray. I think there are sent manually which means errors creep in.

i had sent them email last night, and they have compleatly ignored it, you know wonder ppl go balistic at them in emails when they ignore correspondence
