Have you ever posted a appropriate comment and the editor did not post it?
Plenty of times!
See if this one goes!
Yes.
Sometimes it’s a moderator error. Sometimes it’s a disagreement about what is considered appropriate. Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding of what I wrote (or I wasn’t clear enough).
In short, it happens. Keep in mind that the mods are volunteers, so don’t go too hard on them.
The Wolf
I’m generally in innocent bystander. Even so I’d say more than half get deleted (like the one I just posted about the cencors)
Nothing I ever said or wrote was ever inappropriate or cntroversial c”v.
I’d say more than half get deleted
you are right yochie, you do have more deleted posts than the average poster.
you need some work on your estimation skills however
out of your last 60 posts 9 were deleted and none were edited.
its true none of your posts were particularly inappropriate. there can be many reasons for deleting posts.
Not sure I’ve had anything deleted. Had something edited recently that I didn’t even think about and had to really look to find (I used the wrong word for gender).
I think I get deleted sometimes because I’m:
1: more cynical than I should be
2: sometime lose it & yell at a poster (mostly Joseph in all his forms)
3: Push the envelope with provocative language.
I have no complaints, though. It is Keymaster’s site & he can do what he wants.
Most of my posts are fine. Some of the deleted ones I understand, some I don’t. I think after a while you kind of learn what they will or will not accept.
I second Wolf.
Mod 80-
care to share any of the reasons? It would help in understanding why some posts get through and not others
I rarely have a problem, as I rarely run afoul of the “content filter”.
On the occasions when I do, I just move along. Its their sandbox, and I’m here because I like the company that the “moderated” site attracts.
If I wanted “anything goes” there’s no shortage of places to go.
What does Babylon have to do with this?
Also, care to expound on what you think this motive is?
What is the goal of this conspiracy?
Sure. But sometimes you only THINK it was appropriate.
Hmmm. Is it that bad?
I really dont have a problem getting mine approved…
If it isnt, I can usually figure out why. Sometimes I am quite pleasantly surprised that something is put through!
Keep it up Mods, great job!
dont post this
” Babylon editing sane and kosher views to fit their motive. “
So? There are plenty of sites that will welcome whatever it is you’re trying to post. The Mods don’t feel (based on what they see and read from other members) that your views fit the YWN mold.
Besides, this is the CR, not some Washington think tank. We like simple things (shidduchim, cc cookie recepies, latest nail polish colors.. y’know..things that matter!)
Sorry, I feel your fustration, but YNW is a private party, and is subject to house rules. We all play by them, and its pretty much evenly applied (at least from what I can see)
*hold me back!*
a lot of times my comments are denied and im not really sure why…
I usually get shot by the delete gun because I tend to write megilahs instead of posts. I think its the mods way of telling me to pick up safrus.
Mods: some posters seem to be genuinely puzzled why posts dont get thru when they’re not particularly inappropriate as mod 80 wrote above.
Perhaps whenever a post is edited or deleted, you should email the post and the reason to the poster. There cant be too many reasons. Then they would know why, and could word future posts accordingly.
A short simple reason eg inappropriate or too long or not relevant etc would suffice to give YOUR view, cos its up to you, and then at least we all know where we stand.
EDITED POST
Please note there is more than one moderator and therefore it can be subjective at times. Also posts are deleted if they are prying or deceptive or looking to expose a posters identity.

i think thats a great idea.
Reu6922123L:
“Have you ever posted a appropriate comment and the editor did not post it?”
Once, but it wasn’t in the CR section… other than that, I think the mods here do quite a fine job.
“BP tatty, where not taking about going against the Torah or lehavdel against the “Journalists Ethics of Decency”. Nothing I wrote ran “afoul”.”
Well obviously, the mods felt it was indeed inappropriate. As BP Tatty pointed out, this is the mods’ site, so they get to make the rules. If you don’t like it, there are plenty of un-moderated sites around.
“Just Babylon editing sane and kosher views to fit there motive.”
Huh? What, pray tell, is Babylon editing?
And precisely what is this big, bad agenda the mods supposedly have? There’s few things I find as ridiculous as a conspiracy theory so vague it cannot be expressed.
Thank you mw13, it’s nice to feel appreciated from time to time.
YW Moderator613: You’re quite welcome.
I think thats a great idea.
Hey thanx Mod 80. Its nice to feel appreciated from time to time…
