Any of these 'technical difficulties' go to explaining the alarming increase in XML errors folk have been getting this morning?

"Any of these 'technical difficulties' go to explaining the alarming increase in XML errors folk have been getting this morning?"
No. Those are caused by a totally unrelated set of technical difficulties. Things should have improved at around 1pm.

F19585?thread=379145&skip=812 Contains the words "bon mots" is that a *foreign* language post? Why was it not removed when the yikes system activated?
If we can't use dual langage, why is a dual response regard moderation in place, one rule for one, a second rule for others?

Not that I expect the staff to understand Tagalog, Punjabi, Hindi, Bengal or Urdu. But I would hope for a clear definition of what counts as *foreign* one word, a sentence, a paragraph, a post, or a whole thread?

"F19585?thread=379145&skip=812 Contains the words "bon mots" is that a *foreign* language post? Why was it not removed when the yikes system activated?"
Because that's not what happened. the only posts which were affected were ones which were *already* in the moderation system (and had been there for a *long* time - since before we became reactively moderated). The only reason new posts would be put into the system is if someone complained about them. We're not suddenly scanning the whole database for foreign words.
Key: Complain about this post
