Let’s all start by taking a big breath.
The admin team was able to approve posts, including posts for three authors that have been waiting for a while. That is a very good thing, .and they have approved seats two Mondays in a row, so hopefully, the wait is getting shorter and shorter!
The site has had some fixes as well – embedded objects now work in polls (they didn’t work for most of the last two years). Votes are still hit or miss overall. Views overall are down, but they are stable. If you still have pending posts, please let us know. I will not push the two topics forward from yesterday until we see if this is a once a week process (post-approval or not).
It is critical to remember that the admins approve posts by doing a plagiarism check. Admins do not endorse the content in any position they check for plagiarism and then allow the place to be visible. Based on that, we have suggested that they let us, the author community does the checking for them. New content, even if it only gets 20 views, still represents new content and 20 views.
Based on admin communication, it is also important to note the following things:
- Admins only approve posts; they do not moderate. That also means that they do not endorse the content. If your post is wrong but not plagiarized, they will support it.
- Based on the overall communication, what we know about this site – virtually nothing now. Things change frequently, but we honestly do not know what they mean or if the change is permanent.
I feel like this is a negative post, and I apologize for that. I will ned with the go check out the new posts from authors today! There are a lot. I have read some already, and they are a great addition to the site (some). There are many Adsense driven posts, but those help us in the long run. So make today a reading day and enjoy all the new content!

After weaving through a maze of overturned and tipped over vehicles and semis I got the good news that some posts are being approved. Great news to come home to.
I have two pending articles, one of them is more than 20 days old. However, I am sending a new article now regardless. There is something I notice today, I do not see any comments on the posts. I want to answer comments but they do not appear on the pages. I can´t see them. It is very, very strange.
It’s getting better. Let’s see if it continues so and also whether the waiting period will be shortened further.
But I promise all comments will be returned!
My apologies apparently I cannot get to comments right now.

At least they are being released, even if its on just a Monday.
Well, at least it looks like we’re heading in the right direction.
I admire your persistence in trying to extract communication with the admin.
… “Based on admin communication”. Does that mean you have had communication with admin?
