Odd one, may be linked to current temp fix?

    This post / thread (will not be visible to all)

    Odd one.

    It's telling me it's been moderated, but not showing me a mod log, so I don't know what was done / by whom / why (if anything at all). None of the other mods (or those who have been online) have any clue about it.

    There's no attachment, link or image, and poster has more than 50 posts and has been around a while, so theoretically it shouldn't have gotten caught up in that net ... yet the timing is somewhat suggestive ... ?

    Cheers!

    I wonder if it was a ninja edit on the touch site.

    As in there may have been a link in it originally, Gordo?

    S/he doesn't fall into the under 50 posts or time limit parameters though.

    Or do you mean that maybe the OP deleted it entirely and somehow it got caught up in the matrix as a "moderated" post / thread rather than completely disappearing?

    No, there is a post on this forum, I think, by touchingvirus where he created a thread and edited it via the touch site and it went premodded. That was fixed today, but maybe this is something similar. TV didn't have a link in his post iirc, he simply edited the post via touch.

    Ah, just read that now. Yes, it sounds like it could be a similar issue at least.

    Just a note for the devs: it isn't showing up in the posts awaiting approval in LC modutils either.

    Hey,

    Thanks for letting us know. There are still a few weird cases like this. It may be a ninja edit via touch, but this post has no edit history.

    We're going to be removing this pre-moderation system within this week, because this was just a temporary measure as Dav mentioned. In the meantime we will concentrate on getting something more solid in place than chasing down more strange cases such as this, with our limited resources.

    Sorry for the hassle this is causing.

    Edit -- You can approve that post if you want, we have a backup of it since this morning to reproduce the issue if we need to.

    No worries Alvis, needs must when the devil drives.
