Ok this is ridiculous. I make a post and it has one Link in it, even a link to an Adobe website, and I always get "This post is being moderated". What the F is the problem.

    This is completely ridiculous. I made a post with an image in it and it is being moderated. Some body FIX the forum software.

    Moderation is absolutely essential to prevent spam and inappropriate content from being posted. We have millions of users, of all ages, and thousands of messages being created every hour so it's impossible to read them all and delete spam retroactively. Only a small fraction of submissions are flagged for pre-approval, it depends on the content and context of the message, and the status of your user account. Beyond that we do not discuss how the system operates.

    This is an official company website and there are legal policies which must be enforced. We're not 4chan. If you don't like the rules, nobody's forcing you to stay.

    What rules? There are no defined rules posted about why my posts are being moderated. Like I said I posted an image and it got moderated. It was an image of the folder options view tab in Windows 7.

    Your right though I don't have to come here anymore. Thanks for confirming this fact.

    Adobe rents the forum software from Jive... including the anti-spam module

    Even Adobe staff do not have specific information from Jive as to why any individual message goes to moderation

    Between Staff and Moderators there is someone online most of the  time, so messages usually don't have to wait very long

    Sorry, but I can't be any more specific than that, because I simply don't know why any message is caught

    Thanks John but this is just Bogus. Adobe has full control over the forum software. I seriously doubt the members listed as STAFF get this in moderation notice when they post a link in a thread. So whoever runs the forum has some control to Exclude certain members from being moderated, along with the moderators.

    I will repeat... the forum software belongs to Jive, not Adobe... so Adobe does NOT have "full control"

    It took several months for Adobe to get Jive to do whatever it is that Jive did to exclude Staff and Mods from being subject to moderation... and I do not EVER see that happening for individuals

    ‌Moved from Lightroom forum to Forum Comments for further feedback from Forum Moderators.
