I think that, as I tried to post, the thread disappeared and there was my post - gone!!

Does it matter which sort of device you use Callistemon? I use a laptop and I have to press 'Ctrl' and the 'Return' key to post, unless I put a picture on, in which case I press 'Send' which does take an age, I assume because it takes longer to load. I'm not good with that other 'T' word, technology.
Am I missing the point?

Callistemon ?

Callistemon Wed 19-Aug-20 11:10:32

Don't mention the 't' word

Even if you're reading a story to the DGC!

I was just quoting Lara. Will her post be deleted?

Randomactsofpurple Wed 19-Aug-20 02:24:39

Well I’ll jump in and test it too

Here goes........

Oh dear.
Not another one

Lara has a thread about troll hunting and thread deletions, so I assume that anything that has vanished contained a post (or several) about dodgy posters.

i thought that is a forbidden word. the five-letter one.
so all this might get deleted, ....

Callistemon not the same problem with posting as you but, from when I hit "post" it seems to be taking ages for the post to actually upload.
As for banned list..... No idea.

Elegran Tue 18-Aug-20 22:34:09

Bluebelle If you are banned you will have recived a PM to tell you so. As you seem to be able to post, you must be OK.

Callistemon Tue 18-Aug-20 22:33:39

I was just going to open yet another thread and it's gone.

Is someone at GNQ rather trigger happy?
Could we have an explanation please?

How do we know if we re on a banned list banned for what and for how long ???

seacliff Tue 18-Aug-20 22:27:19

some posters are on the Banned List tonight

Callistemon Tue 18-Aug-20 22:26:48

It's still here, hurray

But I'd like to know why so many threads are being deleted

annep1 Tue 18-Aug-20 22:26:03

Worked for me.
I don't know what's happening. Strange.

annep1 Tue 18-Aug-20 22:24:44

Testing

Callistemon Tue 18-Aug-20 22:23:51

Every time I type a post and press the 'post' button the thread disappears!

Have I got a Magic Finger?
Or has GNHQ got a new algorithm?

What is going on?
