Is it just me?
No, same here.
Think Nabble!!!
(where there are often waits for approval)
"Think Nabble" is correct, however, that wait will take infinite time on some
posts. There is now an automatic censoring process for Nabble posts that resemble the
signatures of prior spambot attacks on Rhelp. It was known that some innocent posts would
be affected, including, unfortunately, some of the posts from our most valued members if
they happen to be posting from Nabble at the time. This eventuality was noted when those
filters were installed. In this case Frank saw it on Nabble and gave a perfectly valid
reply that was not censored.
The moderation queue was getting 20 or thirty postings that on cursory review
were valid, but which turned out on investigation to be duplicates of prior
Nabble-mediated posts and the only new content was bogus advertising. The
moderators were not volunteering to do investigation of all such posts.
I probably should have said: "Think the _curse_ of Nabble!"
Hey, that might make a great movie title: "The Curse of Nabble".
Starring, of course, Peter Lorre, Christopher Lee and Boris Karloff,
each of whom has at least one 'r' in his name.
