o
I have noted that the forum has gone fairly quiet over the last few days and so this gives me an excuse to write a HUGE THANK YOU to the new arrivals that have been so kind to me since they arrived here in the Kingdom.
This is what this forum is all about - about helping one another!
So we are off on our vacation tomorrow for 2 weeks of blissful peace and quiet to the island of Mauritius which is where my husband was born and lived there as a young boy - my first visit in our 35 years of marriage.
Take care to you all and remember to help one another!
Kind Regards as always Carolina

The reason the forum is quiet because I think posts are being censored. I posted something yesterday and it never showed up. Freedom of speech anyone?

Since your post and everyone else's first few posts have to be approved now by a moderator to prevent all the spam being in the forum. You will see a delay in the post appearing. Even though you are not seeing the spam in the forum anymore does not mean its not coming in. We're just catching it prior to it posting. This can take time. Every post is read by a moderator. This is a volunteer job and occasionally our personal lives take preference.
Also, remember your day could be our night, depending on where you are.
I hope you found your post, since I approved 4 posts tonight to show on the forum and deleted others that were spam.
Also, please take note of the agreement you had to agree to prior to being a registered user. The moderators do edit posts or delete posts when the occasion arises. Thankfully, that is not that often, except deleting all the spam or when personal information of another person besides the poster is placed in the public forum. If you want to post contact information of another person, please PM the info to the person requesting it, unless you can state you have that person's permission to place their contact info in a public forum. Also, there are certain topics that are not discussed in the public forum because of the sensitive nature of the topic within the Kingdom - ex: security details and religious issues. These can be asked about in a more private manner: email or PM and some questions about security details may not be answered at all.

Sorry to bump such an old post, but I thought the mods who do all of this work in keeping up the website should be thanked on a regular basis. This site has been invaluable in getting me prepared to move over. I went to my orientation recently and found I knew most of what was presented based on reading just a few posts here. (Still the orientation is very useful, as well.) Thanks again!
