Be Warned: Google Groups is misbehaving and deleting posts

[TheHighNibble]

It appears Google Groups is borked.

• You will see many Message has been deleted notes in recent conversions.
• If/when you post your message may be immediately deleted by Google Groups
• Some people have noted that they then get an email notifying them that their message was considered SPAM.

I have not changed any settings on the group, but will investigate.

Meanwhile, you could:

• check for any recent posts you have made and see if they are actually in the conversation
• when making a new post, ALWAYS copy the content of your post before clicking the Post message button
• that way you can try to re-post if it gets deleted

There is no longer any support for Google Groups, only a community forum.

If this problem of deleted messages persists, I will lock this forum and switch to GitHub discussions.

If that needs to happen then this forum will remain as a static, searchable resource.

(It just happened making this post, 3 times. -3 to Google Groups)

The "Message has been deleted" problem still persists and is making the forum unusable.

I am about to "pull the pin" and close this Google Group forum (leaving it as an archive) and move to GitHub discussions.

However, I'm open to any other alternatives. Good luck posting your thoughts in reply.

Relatively new here and waiting in the wings till I have time for building a Z1 replica but I just scanned through the other 3 Google Groups I'm subscribed to and I'm not seeing this issue. Must be a particular keyword that is used often in these discussions it doesn't like I'm guessing. Very strange.

Other groups I'm on are comp.os.cpm, Cromemco and S100Computers

Another option would be to go with something like a phpBB forum, but it's probably not worth the effort and expense for the amount of messages we get here.

I'm wondering if there is something in some of the signature lines or tag lines that is causing messages to be deleted... maybe try to modify your message in some way and re-post after it's deleted and see if you can figure out exactly what is causing the deletion?

Even though I haven't posted very often I do read the posts often and would sure miss this if it were closed out and not used any more.

I've had various google groups I've followed over many years and it's been a great tool for people helping other people in many ways, or just for general conversation.

I've really been enjoying my IMSAI replica and have had it for a while now.  Guess I need to get up to date on some of the upgrades and updates though.  Just retired and will finally have some time to fiddle with the IMSAI soon.

Don't give up on the group too quickly, it's worth figuring out what is causing the 'message deleted' issue.

We'll see if my post sticks. At the moment all of the High Nibbles posts are being deleted. Everything he tries results in a deleted post.

Google Groups is currently auto-deleting the majority of new posts. This forum will move soon to a different platform.

[TheHighNibble]

Just trying to post from Incognito mode to see if cookies and history are the problem...

[TheHighNibble]

And again but not from Incognito mode.
