Blocked posts

What determines which posts get moderated?

I've posted a few dozen posts. There are some randomly blocked while awaiting moderation. What is the trigger?

Thanks.

Up until 50 posts, the posts are subject to moderation as you post for the first few times in any new forum here.

The trick is to go to one of the game threads and just hammer out the first 50 posts as quickly as you can. I used the Posting Streak thread myself.

Hey Jasun! It is totally random in the first 50 posts. The reason is to discourage and flesh out trolls and sock puppets and it gives Andy a chance to individually moderate the new poster to make sure he/she is legit and not here to start trouble.

The post will appear back in the order it was written which can be awkward...they will appear though shortly.

Once you get to 50 posts the individual moderation ends and no posts are blocked.

Thanks, Rareboy and East. So you think it is just a program algorithm that looks at length or key words, as it has only happened about three times?

I'll go waste my time in games. Sigh.

(I spell it Jason, btw. The pornographer is Jasun.)

Ahhhh...so that is where I got the "u".... My apologies Jason

I think the posts that the program selects are totally random...it happens to everyone in the first 50 posts. I think maybe after that there might be key words...not sure though...

I think it has something to do with hamsters.

At least it's not those damned little white mice that are trying to blow up the planet for the Bogons.
