Giveaway of the Day Forums

   So Ashraf (sp?) missed reviewing today's giveaway (Image Converter Plus) and his reviews inspired me to write my own. So I did some writing this morning and set it up with the familiar pros-cons structure and submitted a comment under the same structure.
   The issue is, the comment has been "Under Moderation Review" for about 6 or 7 hours already.
   How long does it take to get a comment approved? I did a bit of looking around and I don't think I broke any commenting rules. When I submitted and waited for a while, new comments were added, but not mine.

   No linking to your own commercial site

   EDIT: I didn't scroll down far enough to see this forum and my question may have been answered already, but I have used the search function so hopefully this isn't a re-ask.

   The filter (which is run before the moderator sees it) often catches things it shouldn't. Its like using Heuristics on your firewall (It catches much more than it should). Anyway, pretty much everybody has had it happen to them at one time or another, so don't feel too bad.

   It takes a very long time for comments to get approved. The GOTD team only check for comments a few times a day. Sometimes they may send comments to the trash if they don't find it worthy. If your comment is still in the moderation queue, then they haven't deleted it.

   ... and yet the comment posting the license key made it through moderation? I thought this was against the rules.

   What? Where? I only check the main site once a day, so I don't see the comments.

   @Violet
   I searched around and the spam filter only gets mad if I post too many links. I only had one link posted.

   hi, Brian...

   i did have one caught with only one link before, but it was a response to a question by another community member...my guess was mine was seen as off-topic...

   you can always PM BuBBy & ask him...he is an Admin & moderates the front comments (as his time allows, an unpaid volunteer)...maybe he can help?...

   Hm... He's offline...
   I'm about to finish a review for Total Screen Recorder Gold - maybe this one will get through.

    hi, Brian...

    at some point, your comment yesterday went thru...#38 when the comments are expanded...

    maybe it'll work out better for you now & in the future...

    good luck with your reviews...
