Another small modpost

[neonspider]

Huge apologies to those who have been waiting in the moderation queue! The entries are released now except for those who posted again afterwards. I didn't know that some entries would randomly go to the moderation queue before getting access. I'll keep an eye on this in the future, but if it seems your entries aren't showing up in a few days, please let me know!

Hmmm... if not all of them went to moderation, I think the difference might be in the tags. So the ones who added a user tag for themselves went to the queue? Those who didn't tag were published right away?

If that's the case, the problem should mostly disappear with round 2, since everyone (who was in round 1) now has a user tag. :)

Hmm, I checked, but almost everyone else added their tag too... this looks completely random! Does that ever happen at your_favourites?

Weeeird.

No, I haven't noticed anything like that at your_favourites before.

I just read the faq for moderation: https://www.livejournal.com/support/faq/157.html

It is talking about whitelisted domains... maybe if the icons are not hosted on lj (like mine, for example), this counts as an entry with a link to a non-whitelisted domain and then needs to be moderated? You should be able to turn that off, too, though.

I don't know what the people did who first went into the queue but then could post on the second try. I don't know how that would work, either.

Oh, I see. I did read some explanation about that when creating the comm but I got the sense that only posts with links to known spam sites or such would need moderation. I guess it's the other way around then, that the links need to be to a whitelisted place. I think I'll just change the setting to non moderated. Thanks for the help :)

//ETA yeah that was it for sure, the entries that got stuck had example icons hosted somewhere other than LJ itself or the whitelisted Imgur.
