[serious] Off Topic Moderation Input - Part 2

[Ming]

I try to check in often to approve posts, but I'm not online 24/7 so sometimes it takes some time to get to it.
The system does currently block a lot of bots and spam, and for that I'm thankful. However, it can be a pain in the neck sometimes.
I don't have the knowledge or expertise to upgrade the software or tweak the software. The best I can do is keep paying the bills and hope that Solver will have pity on us.

I've been approving posts I see the last few days I've been around, but I have no idea if there's a more permanent solution.

[BeBMan]

Bah editing spelling gets my post flagged as spam. Admittedly many of my posts are spam these days, but not all

Thing is previously it seemed to avoid the spam flag when you added something in the "reason for edit" field.

Not anymore it seems

The system has a weird way of determining possible spam... I have no clue what triggers it except for certain links, videos and long quotes/posts.
I check in many times during the day, but sometimes, it takes a little time for me to see the unapproved posts. I get to them as fast as I can.

Uhmn, why are https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellan...51#post9470451 unapproved/greenish ?

[Broken_Erika]

These database errors are getting quite annoying.

[Ming]

Go ahead and try... I don't do smiles

[BlackCat]

Could someone make a trumpist/putinist "smiley" ? That would be an improvement when answering Berzerker nutties.

[BeBMan]

Much better now indeed

[EPW]

The server is doing its best, please stop reminding it of its deficiencies.

[BeBMan]

Getting this on some threads

There has been a database error, and the current page cannot be displayed. Site staff have been notified.

Sometimes it loads after few tries -- like this page had the same issue first today.

[EPW]

Thank beelzebub we now have a record of this momentous event.

[ZEE]

Website was down for an hour before the time of this post (maybe more but that's when I noticed it.) Seems to be working now.

[Ming]

Fixed it
