Guest guest Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I am just checking to see if I can post. I sent a message earlier today, but, it has not appeared yet. Just a question - do members stay on moderation forever? It seems funny that I can post by hitting reply to a message, but, every new message I send has to be moderated.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Every message is moderated, whether you click reply or not. Some seem to get through quicker than others and just lately it seems some haven't got through at all. That is a problem not a moderation problem. If a moderator rejects a message the person is always informed that they have done this and given the reason why. They are then given the opportunity to amend their message and send it again. The moderators are all volunteers and not on their computers 24/7. This can sometimes cause a delay, but not very often. Lilian Co-owner I am just checking to see if I can post.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hi , yes, members do stay on Moderation for ever and yes, every message, whether new, or as a reply are moderated. This is to keep 'trouble' off the forum as there are many who thrive on trying to upset members by posting stuff that is designed to cause as much upset as they can. Our forum works best run this way, and strangely enough, we never get anybody even trying to post something unpleasant or rude, so people obviously know we would not allow anybody to come here and upset our members. We learnt the hard way, but our moderating works beautifully, and it is good when we get members telling us what a good forum this is, when other forums can give real grief to their members by allowing a 'free for all'. # However, right at this point in time, I do believe that are still experiencing problems and that some messages posted are not getting through. It happened to me the other day, and was so annoying because I had put a lot of information to that message and posted it direct from the forum message board. Therefore, I had no copy to repost, and had to retype it all out again. Luv - Sheila I am just checking to see if I can post. I sent a message earlier today, but, it has not appeared yet.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hi Lilian and Sheila, Thank you for your replies which answer my question. Please don't think that I was complaining - quite the opposite - it was more a reflection of my observations since I joined the group and also my frustration that my message did not appear. When it does, I will be able to tell you just what an utter complete waste of time my daughter's appointment with the endocrinologist was today! How about this as a quote: referring to 24hr cortisol results - 'we have no lower level for cortisol, therefore all is absolutely fine' My daughter's cortisol results are at the bottom of the range! > > Hi , yes, members do stay on Moderation for ever and yes, every message, > whether new, or as a reply are moderated. old message deleted by moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 We do understand, it can be very frustrating to find that some of your messages seem to be coming through and others not, and some later ones appearing before the previous ones. As you have gathered, it happens to us too I am sure Sheila will have plenty to say regarding the endoprat your daughter saw. But this seems to be the case, they do not seem to take into account low or high, just so long as it is within range. I had low haemoglobin and was sent to a blood consultant. All he kept doing was getting me to have a test and seeing me. Looking at the test, which was still under range, so getting me to come back four months later and another test. Still below range so back again in another 4 months with another test. This time it was just within range, so I was discharged. Told to come back if it goes low again. But unless I get tested regularly how do I know it has gone low. The reason I was sent in the first place was because I asked for copies of my blood test results, to actually look at my TSH, but looking at the heamoglobin and other things which had been low for a long time and I was told there was nothing wrong.
