I posted a new topic on here last night and i had a message saying it had to go to the Moderators first as i had used one or more erroneous terms.

Do any of you veteran posters know how long it should take to be "moderated" or whether if they refuse it they will give me a reason why?

I would assume that it will not appear. Moderation on C4 is lazy for long periods then draconianly over-enthusiastic.

there are many 'trigger' words which are automatically filtered and mean that posts don't appear. sometimes they appear later, but most often they are never seen of again....

they never apologise and never explain and if you ask they just send you a copy of the rules (haha).

one thing i sometimes do is to copy any text before i post so that if it does get stopped, i can experiment with the words to try and find out which one is stopping it... just avoid or disguise that word and it should go through fine. Smile

Amusingly, if you get the message, hitting the backspace key takes you back to your post which you can then edit and re-submit Big Grin

I tried that and got banned. They only reinstated me once I agreed not to post the topic, which is yet to surface on this forum. Ninja

I just right click and choose "back", which takes you back to your message.

It was actually a link (not a link, but the web site address to copy and paste) to an article and petition against an Iranian lady being st0ned for @dultery. this had been forwarded to me by the British Humanist Associaiton so i assumed there was nothing dodgy about the site.

don't know if it was the word st0ned, @dultery or something else . . . . i will try again later . . .

They are extremely twitchy on Iran, Iraq and the Middle East in general.

We've done stoned and adultery before. Nothing wrong with those words (in the correct context, of course Wink)......

When I encounter a new trigger word (such as r@pe) I write a new post with it in it in which I berate the Mods for their stupidity and nonsensical approach to adding words to the list without informing anyone.

I also ask them for their justification and/or explanation. To date they have never replied. I suspect that either they know they cannot explain or maybe triggered post never are checked just logged somewhere then dumped in a monthly or whatever clean-up.

They have a list of words that we're not supposed to use.
No one actually knows what those words are, they explain nothing.
Some would say that the intelligent thing for the mods to do would be to post up a sticky of all the topics, phrases and words we're not supposed to use in order for us to avoid those.
But we're yet to see that.

The whole attitude to posters is why i don't post here very much anymore. I post on the spin off forum where the moderation is a lot less lax and people can actually express themselves with a clear idea of what's against the TOS and what isn't.

actually i don't think the word 'rape' is a trigger word in isolation as its certainly slipped past my (and their) filters in the other thread... and here too presumably if this post comes up. perhaps it is multiple usage of the word that does it...

It may be that they have now removed it from their list. It certainly was a trigger word a few months back and it triggered even when used by itself.

In one of the messages I sent to them I asked why it was a trigger when other crimes such as murder, sodomy, theft, etc. were not and I then went on to abuse the mods for being total tossers and other choice phrases. Well, when you know your post contains a trigger word you might as well pack a few more in. Big Grin And since your post is going to be sent to Mod-land and not the public boards then they can hardly complain that you are breaking the TOS.
