There is NO moderation, at all, as far as I know. Perhaps you are getting impatient in your old age? Cheesy

I've had no trouble, although sometimes it is a bit "slow".

No moderation at all. Zip, zilch, nil, none. Nothing at all has been moderated. The PA forum has a couple of software bugs an update will fix but the slowness issue appears to be with the (free) hosts servers (particularly the DNS).

I installed the software on both and liberty is the latest version but PA is an old version of phpbb for nostalgia.

Reply #3 - May 21^st, 2008 at 7:52pm The posting doesn't work for me on PA and Liberty just cuts out consistently. It doesn't matter - PA holds no interest for me - although the format is better than Liberty.

I haven't had a problem with Liberty and joined PA but haven't had anything to say. Sounds like an Old Boys Club to me. Cheesy

Maybe neither are for you, that's OK, I don't mind. liberty has just celebrated its one month birthday and PA is less than a week old so I'm pretty happy with patronage to date. Give them a few months and they will be bursting with interest. At least I will be posting anyway.

I don't have a problem with Liberty apart from the fact, that it's become too difficult to post. The site cuts out and I can't get back onto it to log out. I can even shut down my computer and find that when it's turned on again - I'm still logged on, which is a new experience.

Perhaps it's my computer, but I haven't had this trouble with any other sites or forums.

If a site gives you an option - you should be able to use it. I log in there each time, so of course I want to log out. Although Ozpolitics doesn't give you an easy option - it hasn't affected any of the other sites I use so far.

Unfortunately Liberty does, so I need to log out, but because the site cuts out and I can't get back onto it - I stay connected and I don't want that.

I have no problem other than from time to time the DNS seems to be taking its time - but I can wait a few seconds if that's what it takes. It is intermittent though and often operates perfectly so I don't know what your problem can be related to. No one else has mentioned it, just you.

You don't need to log out if you don't want to. The system has a timed log out anyway. If you don't refresh or have any activity within sixty minutes the site logs you out automatically.

Like I said though if it's too hard and causes you to post here to complain about my site don't post there. I don't mind. It's preferable you stay away to avoid flooding freediver's sites with issues he has no interest in and suggesting my forums are moderated when there has been no moderation at all to date.

Reply #13 - May 22^nd, 2008 at 1:13pm Deepthought I get the same problem on your liberty forum. I'd guess about one in five times I can't get through. Yes it is intermittent - it doesn't seem to drop out for long periods. If you can be bothered, there are plenty of free forum sites that don't have these issues.

I migrated from a free forum after just a couple of days. Too many limitations too numerous to mention. I need to get a commercially hosted site but I've been too busy, too lazy, too skungy. Or all of the above.

I'll get around to it but it isn't really happening to me though so it's only a problem for you dudes.

But there's no moderation, mantra may think it's the Chinese again.
