OK. This has been bugging me for the past few days on MakeCode (sorry if I seem like a Kevin or something). So, I’ve sent messages and it’s pending and you have to wait until they let the message/post through. This is most likely for safety reasons because you don’t want anyone to say anything bad, but, I think it causes more problems than it solves. I have to wait hours for my message/post to get through, and it can really slow down messaging or posting when you’re waiting hours for it to get through. You can be having a conversation with someone. For example Guy 1: “Hello.” (has to wait 5 hours for message to get through) Guy 2: “Hello, Guy 1.” (has to wait 5 hours too, going up to 10 hours for 2 messages to go through). Which is not-so-good to me. I might just be complaining, I don’t know. Hopefully like @Richard or anyone from the MakeCode team can solve this problem
It’s not a problem. It’s not an issue. IT IS JUST MODERATION.
This is not Discord, or Reddit, or anything like that. This is The MakeCode Forums. Strangers can’t just walk in and say whatever they want. This place has rules. And to ensure the forums are safe, the moderators have to check messages, make sure they adhere to the rules, and if they do, they will approve them.
It’s work, but that’s how this place stays safe. So, again, it’s not an issue, this has been happening for many, many years, so please, just be patient.
I never said it was like Discord or Reddit. It’s just annoying when I have to wait hours for one message. Additionally, all they need to do is make sure that when the person is messaging they give an alert if they said anything wrong, kind of like Scratch but I know that the rules are different here. But still, waiting hours for a message to send can feel annoying. I’ve been patient for the amount of days I’ve been here. I’m going to quit toorrow because people have been rude to me and scolding every new user just because they’ve made one mistake of saying something off-topic. And it’s getting annoying. And MakeCode needs to fix that. They need to fix the messaging, they need to make sure people are being nice.
It’s a bit more than that, too, @ChimbroDaPro . We allow users as young as 13 to join this forum, which means an adult is required to review every single post that is made. No, it cannot be left to our robot overlords. Human intervention is required, and we will continue to review every single post. This is not something to be fixed, and this is not something that will change, @NeoStreak . This thread is now closed as it is not a topic for conversation.
