POST Moderation In Groups - What Is It And WHY

You go to POST in this group, (any group) and you suddenly notice a little note near the submit button that says something like "This post will be subject to Moderation, etc).  You may NOT notice it. 

But then you hit submit and suddenly you see that your post is only a DRAFT.  And you will see another more obvious note that your post is held for moderation, etc. 


NEW GROUPS (This one is not) and/or NEW MEMBERS of any group are initially subject to this new SPAM safeguard.   They will see this sometimes with their first post to a new group or group they have just joined.  It's called MODERATION even though the post has the Draft Designation. 

Multiply installed this spam filter and only Multiply has access to it.  NO admin has access to your post or the controls of this filter.  It must clear through Multiply.  So please don't think that any admin of any group is holding your post!  They aren't!  The filter is working great!  Multiply just wants to review your first group post to ensure you aren't one of those spammers.  The Moderation message states that it can take up to 24 hours.  Usually it clears very quickly though.  So please be patient and don't DELETE this post!  It's the one that gets you past the spam filter and you should not see it again.  Deleting the post means you have to be screened again.

Again, NO admin in any group is moderating or holding your post so they cannot release it.

As new members to this group, everyone will probably be subjected to this slight annoyance.  But please let it clear so you won't see it again!  If you have any problem with a post clearing within that time frame, please notify CS.  Admins can't see your moderated post to report it.

All group admins are welcome to link to this post.
