Question by Arx · Sep 23, 2015 at 07:08 AM · answers.unity3d.comadministrator

How do I contact Answers administrator?

I have posted this question here on Answers and a day later, the infobar on top of the question still says

This post is currently awaiting moderation. If you believe this to be in error, contact a system administrator.

I've searched everywhere but I haven't found a way to contact a system administrator. How do I do this?

Thanks!

You posted your question 17 hours ago so that's not even a full day. The moderation is handled by the community itself, it may take few seconds as several hours depending on the number of questions in the moderation queue. Your question is now posted I just published it.

Ah, okay! I didn't realize each question must pass moderation first, and I saw lots of questions being posted "5 $$anonymous$$utes ago", so I just automatically assumed something must be wrong with my question. Now I see the "5 $$anonymous$$utes ago" is calculated from the moment of moderator approval. Thanks a lot!

Once you build up a few karma points by participating here you will be able to ask questions and comment and such without going through moderation.

@Nerevar I just noticed this question has been closed as "off-topic or not relevant". I don't believe this to be true, as the question still stands: how do I contact the ad$$anonymous$$istrator? That is the notification the users see - if there actually is a way to contact an "ad$$anonymous$$istrator", maybe it would be best to link it directly from the notification; if there's no such role on Answers, the notification text should be changed.

$$anonymous$$y question was not meant as some kind of whine like "please approve my question" but a genuine question about the content of the notification.

Actually "ad$$anonymous$$istrator" is just a generic term, it means you need to contact the people who are actually moderating the website (it is the community). For instance UnityAnswers is a generic template integrated to unity's website so the notifications are very general and unclear sometimes .

The quetion was closed because it does not concerned unity3D itself and I thought all you wanted to know is why your question was stuck in the moderation queue and how it was working...

If you want to contact people from unity $$anonymous$$m, your best chance would be on the forum.

I can re-open the question if you still think it is relevant.

$$anonymous$$y post has been waiting in moderation for almost 2 days, clearly the moderation system doesn't work. Wont be wasting my time here again

$$anonymous$$ost of the moderators, who are just volunteers, aren't around much on the weekends. You can post in the Help Room without being moderated, or wait for a mod to get to your question. In the meantime, build up a little karma by participating in the site. It doesn't take much to be able to post without going through moderation. The intent is to have a community here. If you want something from the community, give something back to it.

Yeah, it's a fairly unclear message and it doesn't tell you how to contact an ad$$anonymous$$istrator. In fact nowhere does because I've just looked for it.

This never used to be the case. Its an oversight I think.

Probably that and support couldnt get any real work done for all the email throughput they had to deal with (on account of my harsh moderation, no doubt ;)).

Indeed, one would expect the "contact a system ad$$anonymous$$istrator" line to have a hyperlink or something.

By the way I just dug up this thread by googling "how to contact a system ad$$anonymous$$istrator in unity answers" so yes, the message seems unclear to more than just one user. ;)

I'm currently facing the same problem now. :/ I know I just started here, but I still would really like help with my problem in Unity...

Please use the Answer option for something that will Answer the question (I converted yours from an Answer to a Comment.) Take a look at the FAQs, etc... for the reasoning.

Your Q seems like personal help, just learning how scripting and Unity work, so would be better in the Help Room; where there's also no waiting. Read through the rest of the comments/answers here for more about that.

Can you help me, @SaraCecilia ? I've got a few questions which I believe are in the help room, and they have the same "This post is currently awaiting moderation. If you believe this to be in error, contact a system administrator." message. It's been a few weeks, maybe more at this point.

Please let me know any other information I could give you to help you help me.

thanks!

Bryan

You don't appear to have any pending questions in the help room or in the moderation queue. You did ask a question in the help room 13 hours ago ("into the void") and it appears in the help room .

$$anonymous$$oderation was turned off, so any new questions should not be going through moderation. If you asked questions that don't appear then you'll need to re-ask them.

They could possibly have been deleted as well - which unfortunately shows the same message "post waiting moderator approval". We're getting that changed.

$$anonymous$$eanwhile, could you provide links to the posts you submitted so I can just double check?

That was my first post, when it spent some time in moderation, I thought maybe I had crammed too many questions into the same post, so I began to break them up into individual posts:

Hello! would you please moderate my recent question?
I've been waiting almost a day.

I believe it is not part of Help Room, but if you think so, feel free to move it @SaraCecilia @Dave-Carlile

Thanks in advance

Different problem - your Q is irretrievably lost. It is actually not in moderation even though it says it is (the list where we can click to approve it - your Q isn't there.) One way that bug can happen is when one person moves your Q to the help room, and another moves it to moderation.

At any rate, it's gone. $$anonymous$$ay as well ask it again. It should immediately appear.

Also, the upvote bug is obsolete. The system mistakenly thought people with high points really had 0 points, so put their stuff in the moderation queue with new users. But now nothing is put in there, not even from new users.

Ok, np.

I just re-posted the question, and it got sent to "awaiting to be approved from a moderator"

Did this one make it to the moderation queue?

Nah I found it and fixed it. Closed it... :P

Huh. Good and bad. The second Q you asked went into the moderation queue (I accepted it.) But it wasn't supposed to even go there. Either the system or your account is still messed-up.

I see.

Is there anything you recommend I do to get it looked at? I figured it was sort of a "stack overflow thing". stack overflow used to have a rule where you could only upvote, if you had over 15 points or something. dont remember the complete rule

Well, it's possible the bug may fall off (maybe when you get past 15 points?) If things are still getting sent to moderation after a week or so, and you remember, I'd start a new Q here about it, maybe "All Qs getting sent to moderation." Also look at answers. For example, your "answer" to this wasn't in moderation, was it? After you post an Answer, see if it's published right away.

Of it's possible some crazy mod happens to be manually doing it. Or maybe a friend is playing a joke on you. There never was a bug. And the system is changing - maybe a server tweak this week was causing it, and we never figure it out.

The policy on moderation is hard to find. It's only a Q in the $$anonymous$$oderation space: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1360941/moderation-queue-suggestion-no-pre-moderation.html
