Do they generally have pictures attatched? Just wondering if that's what's causing the glitch?

Are the majority text only or do they contain pics? Just had another one blocked and it had a pic on it, just like my previous one.

No one knows why it happens. Its just does unfortunately.

I can't say (for me) if it's ever happened on a post with only text.

(eg, it didn't happen to this reply)

I imagine its just probably everything YOU post James...

:rofl:

 

[bluewolf]

Yeah. We took a vote.

1 mod said to me its possibly due to links in my signature as I have had posts go to moderation with no pictures or attachments within the post.

Think of it like the spam filter in your email.

What stuff sometimes goes to your spam/junk folder.

For James it's likely the links to pics, videos. Other people it could be words. 1 post yesterday had the word iPhone in it a pile of times. The filter probably thought it was a spammer trying to get entry to win an iPhone competitions.

As Chris says its hard to work out exactly why it happens in each and every post but it will likely be due to 1 or all of the reasons above.

Starting to get pee'd off with this as well to be honest. Just had another post of mine sent to a MOD for approval. It only has links to two golf courses in it!

Why can't this get sorted by now, its been happening for months and it never happened before this new Vbulletin upgrade which in all honesty has made the forum worse overall.

Apologies Craw but going by MikeH's post on Thursday these security measures are in place on the orders of IPC Media and their Tech Team.
I assume they are there for a reason and to prevent the site from being targeted by hackers.
So in all honesty is a better scenario to have these minor issues occur than to lose the entire site to some spotty faced schoolboy that never leaves his bedroom.
