    Happened enough to me that I don’t post as much there anymore.  Jim thought maybe it was due to the length of my comments.  Shortening them didn’t seem to change anything.

    I know everybody is sorry about you not posting much.  You are always upbeat and informative.  Many people post much longer posts IMHO.

    Thanks.  I do still post some.  Just got out of the habit.  Ended up over here on the forum which is more conversational.

      Actually, I just realized you said “blog” and not “forum” (sorry). Yes, I have experienced that in the past but not sure what triggers it. I went ahead and emailed your comment.

      Thanks for that. Email box says 39 unread emails. I'm sure I'll see it eventually.

      Comments do get held for moderation for various reasons. Length often triggers it. Multiple links often triggers it. If you accidentally use one of the blacklisted phrases or numbers or email addresses it could do it. And sometimes it just happens and I have no idea why. Since I generally check a couple of times a day, it usually appears soon. Issues like that are one reason the forum was started- so conversations could happen better in real time.

      I think in your case it was the fact that your comment included the word "sex" which is on the blacklist. No big deal. Here's the rest of the "hold comment" blacklist for those who care:

        The default on WordPress is to hold comments by new posters as “awaiting moderation” until approved. After you are approved for the first comment then subsequent comments post automatically. Many bloggers simply switch that off so that all comments automatically approve for everyone immediately.

        This site doesn't use that option.

            They didn't moderate you out here. So that's good to know. For me it may have been links.  I am quick to show people where I get info that informs how I think about finance.  I am very interested in seeing how people think about finance and try not to be argumentative.  Finance can be such a taboo in our society and our personal values interplay so much that it can be sensitive sometimes to discuss.

              Lot of medications. Guess a dr site probably gets all kind of scam/spam in that category.

                I don't think I ever recommended narcotics to anyone on the blog or forum.  At least not yet. So that wasn't it for me.  Although a few deep breaths, waiting 30 minutes, and having a beer before the next comment wouldn't be bad advice at times.

                  It's a totally different system on the forum. That's why there's a forum.

                    yes but i am also interested in sex life and weight loss.  these can be taboo issues also.  

                    is there a separate WCI subforum on these topics?  you know, like the beginner forum?

                    it's pretty much anything goes on these forums right?  i feel like the meet the parents guy where he is at the airport and he keeps saying bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb.    that ended pretty well for him.

                      Speaking of “bomb”, did you see the WCI drop the f-bomb in his post above?

                            I think the second list needs some pruning.

                              One of numerous issues I have with the typical MLM is how they often rely on people to leverage their network of friends and business associates to become customers. Both my personal Facebook feed and groups like Physician Side Gigs have too much product promotion and “PM me about an amazing business opportunity.

                              ”Meanwhile, LuLaRoe, a prominent MLM company, is being sued for $1 Billion for being a pyramid scheme. To which I ask the plaintiffs, what part of MLM did you not understand?

                              Click to expand...


                              Every time I'm faced with someone who refuses to believe their current gig is a MLM, I simply ask them two questions:

                              1. Does your gig's training really emphasize to sign-up friends and family?

                              2. Do you get paid in any way, shape, or form when they sign up?

                              If the answer to those two questions are "Yes", then you're in a MLM.

                              I've had a few people argue that other businesses could market to friends and family, which gets three follow up questions:

                              3. Are you responsible in any way for the training/mentoring of people you sign up?

                              4. Does that training emphasize signing up their friends and family?

                              5. Do you get paid in any way, shape, or form for people who your second tier signs up?

                              If the answer to those are still "Yes", then you have literally just defined a MLM scheme.

                              That was an interesting article on LuLuRoe. I've got quite a few friends whose spouses are aggressively marketing on Facebook but, as happens too often, very few of them are seeing success.  I'm all for people starting small businesses, but there are so many better ways to do it.
                              I should have been a pair of ragged claws. Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

                                I think I see Rodan and Fields facebook posts from some physicians I know pretty much daily.

                                1. I am shocked they are doing this.

                                2. They are annoying.
