Meta Question

Where is the question I asked earlier today?

Asked by Yellowdog (12216points) January 25th, 2017

It had one response and it was not a controversial question. I even see, as I write this question, that I have two more questions for today.

Where the hell is it? How do I get to see my questions/answers?

It got pushed to editing due to a typo in the subject line. You should have a message stating that you have a question that needs editing. If you fix the typo it will be reinstated.

You are being censored and not wanted here anymore~

Wouldn’t surprise me,

It was indeed in the hangar last night as Mariah said—but when the typo (to / do ) was corrected “successfully” it disappeared again.

It was a legitimate question involving a family situation and my fiancee. I know you are joking, Cruiser, but I find it odd that people can post offensive answers and when I flag them, they remain— and how many questions even in the General session are inflamed and bashing a political candidate or Christian leader—and inflamed answers follow—and nothing is done. Yet a question is pulled because “to” is erroneously typed instead of “do” in a 23-word question line.

Oh, and I didn’t mean to infer that YOUR answer was offensive. When I asked a question about a situation involving my GF before, someone referred to her “titties” I found the answer deliberately offensive, perhaps written by a twelve year old, so I flagged it, yet it stands. Yet a one letter typo gets pulled.

Your question is up right now: http://www.fluther.com/198337/my-aging-parents-do-not-even-want-to-meet-my-girlfriend/

After you fixed the typo a mod had to manually check the fix and reapprove the question. That’s why it didn’t return immediately after you fixed it.

I think our mod team is just working at skeleton team levels. So anything that needs moderator intervention will take a little while. They’re volunteers so they aren’t working to a set schedule. So there are periods when no mods are about.

Next time, contact the mods directly, there’s a button on the upper right, next to the search box.
Remember that the mods are volunteers who have lives and jobs and families and are generously giving of their time and energy here. I appreciate your frustration, but you’ll be happier here if you lighten up a bit.

ETA But I see from your profile that you’ve been here long enough to know that.

Sometimes if a questtion is modded and you need to make a correction to it, it’s just better to delete the question totally because by the time you see the notification, fix it and then it’s reposted, it may be way down in the feed. If you originally posted it a day ago, it’s now five or six down.

Some people (like me) will only scroll down as far as the last question they saw. Now if your question is buried in the feed because it was originally posted a day ago, it won’t be seen by a lot of Jellies.

In your case today, @Yellowdog, Mariah gave it a boost by linking it here.
