"This message has been deleted." mystery!

[Pete]

Hi
excuse me for disturbing the group, but I'm trying to post a reply and continuously i got "This message has been deleted".
Can anybody help, please? BTW, who is the admin/moderator of this group?
Thanks in advance.

(well, it seems the above post, -- which has been sent via yahoo-mail -- finally reached to the group).
(let see if this one -- sent using reply button -- will succeed as well)

[Pete]

the problem seems solved -- the "why this was happening" still remains a mystery. (perhaps some spam filter, for uknown reason, was overreacting against my account?. anyway...)

[Pete]

Oh, well! the "thing" hit again.
my replies to this thread https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/harbour-devel/8Sc9YI5hnDE
have been deleted again (5 in total so far). No choice other than to give up and sorry for the noise..

Przemek , I post here the result you asked me regarding ALT+key after running gtkeys.prg as advised:

`RIGHT_ALT+A` ->  <no response>*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By *<no response> I mean that nothing happens when pressing RIGHT_ALT+A under EL layout.
However when tried some other keys that, I got various symbols (signs).
f.e.:
RIGHT_ALT+E -> char: U+20AC  € ext: 0x430620AC -> 06:000020AC [€]  (euro currency symbol)
RIGHT_ALT+Y -> char: U+00A5  ¥ ext: 0x430600A5 -> 06:000000A5 [¥]  (yen)
RIGHT_ALT+C -> char: U+00A9  © ext: 0x430600A9 -> 06:000000A9 [©]  (copyright sign)
et.c.
I guess, the RIGHT_ALT is reserved for that special purpose,
which perhaps explains why it not reacts/affects output, under EN layout.

Yes, it is the spam filter overreacting. And moderators only get a
"digest" of suspected spam once in a while. Those digests can take up to
almost a week while regular moderation requests are generally sent
immediately. It is a very disturbing "feature" of the newsgroup software.

Your messages were still sitting in the spam queue. I have released all
of them, but it may take a little while before they appear.

Regards,
Klas

Hmm, it looks like some of your messages were already released earlier
today and there was yet another bunch waiting when I logged in this
evening. At least the Google Groups software is consistently weird :-)

Regards,
Klas

Hi Klas,

It's relieving to know that a trusted member like yourself, is the moderator of the of the group -- as I conclude from your words, please correct me if I guessed wrong.
I know that those spam filters,  at times, can turn really aggressive and annoying evils. well, "necessary evils", but still "evils", as proved to be in this case. :-)
Thanks for taking care, and hope they will not strike again.

regards,
