Moderator approval?

I got one of those the other day too. I re-read my post to make sure I had not said anything I shouldn't have. It was pretty benign. Seems a bit over the top.

I've got those too on the Summit section of the forum. Not sure why messages have to be approved there.

Ummmm, "which" advertisers?

No idea. I was having the same issue last week, with my posts being flagged, so I asked and the answer I gave above was basically what I learned.

Sounds like TractorByNet needs better advertisers

That'd be nice! But I don't think that TBN subscribes individual advertisers. I suspect they use one of the various advertising brokerage services that are aimed at forums like this. Those brokerage services look at the forum content, sum it up into a demographic, and then push an array of advertisers based on that demographic assessment. It's the reason you see more advertisements here for tools and tires, than for cookware and lingerie... not that I'd mind a little of the latter.

Same. I think one of my posts was discussing Automatic Transmission Fluid, and I made the mistake of using the acronym... which happens to be the same acronym used by one of our favorite government agencies.

I suspect this will have to get better as time goes on, as there's no way @Muhammad wants to have to keep proof-reading and manually approving all of these posts. They probably just need some time to fine-tune the filters, a bit better.

Damn. It's going to be hard to un-see that.

"Is invisible to normal visitors". Does TBN have any normal visitors?

Now I'm looking for ads for eye bleach!

If sears really did set it off, that's absurd. The company is a hallmark of american history.

What gives?

It's "invisible to normal visitors"...which means it's visible to ABNORMAL visitors.
I don't see the problem?
