Hi. I just put a lot of time and thought into a lengthy post in the ‘Isolation and Faith’ thread, only for it to mysteriously disappear. It was respectful, measured, and in no way offensive. But it’s vanished. It’s quite upsetting as I was certainly observing the etiquette and spirit of the thread in what I said, and I simply couldn’t begin climbing that mountain again. I felt I’d chosen my words well and simply couldn’t recreate them, nor - surely-should I have to? Chloe Mod - sorry, yours is the only mod name I can ever quickly find, I don’t mean to pester- has a glitch consumed it? Or was it withdrawn despite being basically a nice and well meaning post? If so, was it reported? And why? I’m confused.
I replied to a post on Thursday, it was flagged as spam or abusive and removed .Go into profile and then messages, it will show if it’s been flagged. Certain keywords seem to upset the bot. I replied to the message and it was later reposted.
I used the word cancer at one point - would that have upset it?
No, that's silly. I think some of the post ended up in bold and I wasn't able to fix that. Could have flummoxed it maybe.
Yes mate.....when weird unintended text formats occur, our Askimet Overlord smites our thoughts and words. It's like a beta version hybrid of Minority Report + 1984 with Last Tango In Paris lubrication.
Personally, I love silicon and code...beats those pesky humans every time. . . . . N O T !!
