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

G'day BK - good to hear from you - hope that your recovery is coming along well

Pre-moderation is imposed not by a specific researcher, but by the Powers That Be, for ongoing transgressions - LW, for example, has been on pre-mod for a while and he is known by the moderators.

Pre-mod means that each post is read and checked before it is "released" - so that, if a researcher is having problems , the mods are probably aware of it before you are.

I will however, see what I can do for you - leave it with me - I can't get the pre-mod lifted but I can make TPTB aware of your concern.

Hey Feisor, thanks for the reply and the other good luck and get well soon things i have seen from you

Also thanks for looking into this pre-mod thing

Me, recovery is doing good, getting stronger everyday

But the eyelids need respect now, as they are taking over time for


Feisor, hope we can chat soon

I'm afraid that, as I suspected, there was not much I could do on the pre-mod thing ....

The only suggestion for people who are on pre-moderation is to pay attention to the email they received informing them of the reason for the change in their posting status. The only thing that matters is whether the person has ceased to be a problem, and if the individual concerned is still behaving in the way they were when they were placed on pre-moderation - or is being a nuisance in other ways, they will not be taken off pre-moderation.

The Powers will not discuss someone else's moderation with another Researcher. If you wish to help, you can do so by focusing on your friend and encouraging them not to cause themselves more trouble.

If the person in question appears suicidal or likely to harm themselves, the best option would be to suggest that they to speak to someone they trust, contact the Samaritans or speak to their GP. I think that sometimes anything else you might offer could do more harm than good - remember that, in most cases, we're not trained
counsellors.

It's really kind of you, to be concerned, but please, don't get yourself into "a state" - you still have a lot of recovery ahead of you

Feisor, thanks for you reply it was good of you to look into it for me

No doubt we will chat soon, if not have a great xmas and new year

Also thanks for you help and kind words

Cheers Bovril

at Feisor....we really do need a smiley

Hey hows you, all good i hope, havent chatted to you for a while, hope you are well.....

I was trying to post to 'hammondorgan' ps and leave him a message but the system wouldnt let me...he said it is because he is on a thing all collective..... whats that???????

Bovril

The Collective is one of the associated BBC sites - there are lots of them

If you like, you could go to one of the hootoo threads he has just posted to, leave him a message and tell him that, unless he registers with h2g2 no one can leave a message o his space.

Sorry ... have had a loongg, hard day and not thinking well

.....cheers mate, i will do that..

You need to have a rest and take it easy, long hard days dont do them anymore

Hi, mate just thought i would pop by and say hi, hows life in your world treating you, all good i hope.

Bov

All's fine here BK - just a little time poor as usual - thanks for asking

How are you and your family getting on?

, glad to hear you are fine mate

All family doing good here, my body still playing games, but once again slowly getting there

A wise friend of mine once said "The road to recovery should always be travelled one small step at a time"

Keep up the good work

Hi mate,

Just a quickie, i wrote a journal today and posted it but it didnt appear, it said it will post it soon.

Is there a delay on journals being posted or have they got to be checked first.

No, no delay - but I know that there have been a few "bugs" with journals.

Its there now though - I just read it - all I can say is that you ARE a silly buggr - but you are our silly buggr and we all care.

It's lucky that we can all only live life one day at a time - can you imagine how much damage we would do if it was otherwise

I had to change a few words, you know the ones, those nasty swear ones

Cheers mate your words sum me up but sum me up with care
