usually they’ll see a post like this within a few days at most, they might ask you for details but chances are they’ll get it fixed
It sucks when it happens, but it’ happened to me at least twice and both times the mods were on it faster than I thought they’d be.
Oh, the other thing is that certain activities seem to set off the spam sensor; posting links especially in comments, multiple replies in a short period of time (3+ in 30 minutes seems to be the low end.) The same kind of applies to posts, but posts are less sensitive than replies.
Now these things aren’t “wrong”, it’s just the consequences of rules moderation has had to set to prevent…. just horrible abuses and spam
I still remember about a year ago when some trolls tried to take over, and moderation had to step in to protect the people who really need the site. To me, if occasionally getting in a little trouble is the alternative to trolls, I’ll take it. This site is a fantastic resource, and the mods seem to do all the work necessary with no reward other than a thank you and job well done.
