Why has she been put into pre-mod?

Anyone know?

I have had two posts removed because I apparently made some some of political comments that are banned under strict house rules leading up the the election. I received an email explaining why each of this posts had been removed but had received NO communication as to why I'm in moderation.

But in addition to this, last week I did have several posts reported that to most other people seemed perfectly harmless. I have a theory that someone could have had it in for me and like PurpleLuv hinted at, the bbc machine has kicked in on autopilot and booted me out!!!

I have to admit I'm gettin very frustrated by it all!!!

Aha... the political stuff is something the Beeb get's EXTREMELY twitchy about at election time. Still it shouldn't be too hard to keep off politics on a food board!

I don't _think_ that there's an "autopilot", there was a time when I was having a STRING of my posts complained of - and the complaints were upheld too (though subsequently after a some discussion with the hosts, I was invited to repost them). All that to say that I was never put back into pre-mod. I don't think that a complained of post counts against you, if the complaint isn't upheld. Sometimes it can take a while for a decision to be made, though. Normally (9/10) the mods decide, sometimes if they feel it's borderline they refer it to the hosts and then at a weekend for example, it can take 4/5 days for a decision to be made. I've known one of Rosie's posts stay in "awaiting decision" limbo for a fortnight.

I think it's unwise to assume a regular has it in for you. It can heppen of course, but it's pretty rare. If I were you, I'd write nicely to the hosts on the link I gave you, asking if they know why you're back in pre-mod. In the mean time, have some and a, and carry on posting as positively as you can. I'm sure you'll soon be back.

All the best
Ian
