The first few posts (un-moderated) over the last 22 days are trickling onto the site now. Let’s hold off one day on sending messages to the admins and see if more is coming tomorrow. If no new posts come tomorrow/today end of day European time, we will resume the letter campaign. It makes me frustrated to have to point this out to the admins continually. I promise you back in the origins of this site they were a lot more engaged than they are now. I am also officially going to stop using the word moderated. The admins of the site, approve posts they do not reduce them. Moderation has multiple means, and one of them is to verify plagiarism, verify content, and accept the content.
The admins do not moderate posts. They approve of them. They do not condone, endorse, or accept any content of any job as anything other than a creative work by an author. I read a post once, and I don’t remember who wrote it that said the admins let the position on the site, they approved it. The admins just passed the site; they do not endorse the content. If they were supporting material, and it was known that they were doing that, this site could be closed down. Some posts on this site are at best questionable, at worst they are dangerous. I wanted to clarify this information as it seems to float around over and over. The admins approve only, they do not now or have they ever moderated posts.
Approve not moderate, the other thing they admins do is plagiarism check. There are quite a few authors that have been caught by that one. Someone once wrote that it was an AI; it probably isn’t AI-driven. It is most likely one of five or six scanning software packages. Overall those packages are pretty dumb and do not learn differences.
Finally, let’s end with what are often called Fluff pieces that were approved as well today. They are not advertising. This site, on a daily average, gets 2000 views or so per day. This number is probably much less right now, closer to 1000 for all authors. Overall that is enough hits for Amazon and other Google partners to use the site for high-level ad placement. Those fluff pieces are not interesting overall, and they are not advertising. They are simply a promo or promotional piece. Open one and check the views, the most they are going to get is around 3500 views, but that will take 20 days or more. Advertisings are willing to live with 1000 clicks, but they are more interested in 10,000 or more.

If they do not moderate, why is approval ever helpful to anyone? 🤷🏻♀️
well they do a plagiarism check on non-verified users. But they have never moderated posts.
I only find posts by going to the menu. I guess google searchers find posts from the tags used.
The site is hard to find anything on really.
If I put in a word like Zen master, mostly my own recent posts come up, but to try to navigate through the other 11 pages or so, is not worth the effort, to go past the first page of search results really.
How can we better refine a search?
putting in two search terms does seem to help though.
“zen master” “monastery”
but more often, I simply get this answer instead:
” Apologies, but no results were found.”
I do not think that we are very good taggers here, as the search seems to rely on these tags to find anything.
How many tags can we add to an article?
I usually use 5, as any more than that somebody once told me were unnecessary.
My next article is up to 9 days old in waiting now.
Short Story: Sharing, receiving, giving, open to seeing love, in any offering.
9 days ago
that was what I was worried about, they approved the oldest but didn’t approve the next day. Fingers crossed!
the site is not horribly user friendly i agree. in theory, the tags are unlimited, but for search more than 10 really doesn’t help.
Thanks. I might add up to 10 then. The more that the search can be refined by specific tags, the better the results, I think.
i wonder sometimes if the search engines grab the virily tags.
It does seem to grab some of them, from the results that I am seeing.
it certainly does get some, but not many. It is very inconsistent.
I don’t think that’s really good for this site. I was reviewing new posts yesterday and some of these posts seemed very “weird” to me.
they are promo pieces, i am not sure why the admins approved them.
Very similar posts (from the same authors) have approved some time ago.
when I was working for the newspaper (I did restaurant reviews) we called those fluff or puff pieces.
lots of words but no content.
As I said in your other post, I understand they do not moderate, but I think they should.
i truly wish they did. so many of the racist posts on this site would be gone in a heart beat.
Many topics should not be tolerated. Makes me hesitate to post.
i have begged the admins to remove some of the posts. They did remove one but left the others up. I guess I will keep trying.
