This forum is a perfect place for the kind of things you all are trying to post to the main site. Keep it here and everyone's happy.

pringletot: You were banned because you're 15 and in clear violation of the terms of service of IIN. You must be 18 to use the site. It's very clear and simple.

dot123: All new submissions to IIN are now moderated and we use our best judgment to decide which stories are interesting, appropriate and on topic. Clearly fake posts, posts that are very poorly written and posts that are simply off topic will all be rejected. We're trying to cultivate an atmosphere of productive, interesting dialog. There are also a ton of older submissions that may be off topic that our very limited staff is slowly working to moderate as well.

These stories are off topic on the main site and are discussion topics better left for this forum.

Thanks!

What do you all think?

wow

1) Do not post things in incorrect categories. It's obnoxious.

2) Thanks for notifying me of the bug. The chatroom, like this forum, is run by a 3rd party company. So, I'll notify them of the issue and hopefully they will take care of it.

We've reinstated the official IIN chat room. Sorry it took so long.

Hi Everyone,

There have been a lot of people asking for the chat room to be reinstated, so we've decided to do just that.

Enjoy,
The Management

Stories should usually get moderated within a day, but basically it depends on my schedule.

Done.

It's not necessarily because of monitoring. Some days are just slow and there aren't that many submissions.

I can remove one of them if you send me the link to it... Thanks

Yup.

Ok, I put something up top. Check it out.

Thanks, not sure what happened. It's back up now.

Ok, gotcha. I'll see what I can do. Might take some time...

On the main site, if you go to "My Profile" up top you'll see a list of the latest comments on your stories.

I've added one for the main site.

Unfortunately I can't control the favicon for the forum.

Sorry, FF is Firefox. http://getfirefox.com

I'll let the Lefora guys know about the bug in IE7.

I believe Chuckle intended this discussion to be about moderation of this new forum, not the main site.

Moderation on the main site is a work in progress and we're doing the best we can with very limited resources.

For example?

We were talking about the main site, not this new forum.

As for posting a link to another story in a comment, there is nothing wrong with that at all in general. However in the case Cabinet70 was referring to, the person was repeatedly posting links to the same story on many different other stories where it was not at all relevant.

If you notice someone doing something like that in the comments in the future, please send us a message via the feedback form and we'll take care of it. Thanks!

Maybe...

That's weird. I see links there. What browser are you using? Try FF and let me know if you see a difference. Thanks.

Sounds like they're still working on this dashboard and it's not really there to be used yet. That post was a few months ago and things must have changed since then. I guess we'll just have to do without it for now, but it sounds like the Lefora guys are indeed working on it.

Once you've made your selections, you should click on the appropriate link below the syndication form. You can use the google/yahoo ones to subscribe to the feed right away in a read, or you can click on the RSS links on the right side to take you to the feed itself.

All new submissions are now being moderated as they're posted. It's going to take us some time to sift through the 20,000 old posts and clean things up.

Videos seem to work too :)
