Stargazer Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I'm trying to post a topic in News, but it's not working. Just trying Social to see if I can do it here. ETA: and it did. Am I special or something that I can't start a topic in the other two forums??? Edited February 2, 2018 by Stargazer
Calm Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) You want me to try? What is the topic? Your post may have 'special' words or combos of words that are getting it kicked. Maybe you say the nickname for Richard too much, for example. Edited February 2, 2018 by Calm 1

It was about the Mitt Romney tweet saying he was announcing news about a possible senate run on February 15th. I tried it with and without links, I think.

I just created this sockpuppet to see if there is something wrong with my regular id.

Calm Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) I have had a few links that did that, one was obvious as it had the name of a drug in it, don't have a clue about the others. Sometimes the software tries to post it as a webpage and can't handle it and if you choose the option to just display it as a link (it will be in a black line at the bottom of the post, you may have to scroll down to see it), it allows that.

But it's not just the link. I just tried to post some text about the subject and it wouldn't take it. This is weird.

Calm Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I am pretty it was a problem because you displayed it as text and not a link. Me copying it here broke the link to twitter so it came up for me.

I've sent a message to the Contact Us feature describing the problem. I don't know what good that will do. Edited February 2, 2018 by Stargazer
Telescope Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 Are sockpuppets allowed? I'd guess not. I like this telescope thing. I can have lots of conversations with myself!

Sure you can, but to what point? You can read your own mind, so what kind of a conversation would it be? Actually, I see to have forgotten which me is posting. Am I Stargazer or am I Telescope? Very confusing. 🤔
