Moderation over there.
-
You have been put in moderation as in they are watching every single thing you do before it is approved and will flow through. Have you had a post moderated lately to put you in complete moderation?

No, pretty much the only ones I have deleted are ones when I quote peoples post that they end up deleting.
Well, I guess there is no point in me posting over at SW anymore if they are going to pull that crap. Everyone problem will either be solved or what ahead of where it was when I posted if they are doing that BS. -
Did your post contain any words that may have flipped the auto moderation trigger? You didn't even have to type it, it could be in the quoted text.
-
Have you bothered reaching out to any moderators or PM'ing a CM?
-
Just did. Apparently It's because I said I don't really like MSPs. You can't say that there since that is SW #1 customers.

@thecreativeone91
I'm curious and that seems a bit over the top. Can you paraphrase/quote what you wrote and where you did so we can see context? I'm no longer a mod, but do like to see what might be wrong and am not ashamed to rant to the OG team.
-
I would love to work on your opinion of MSP's. WE are a loveable bunch, or at least some of us are

The post in the linked SW thread is no longer there. I assume moderated out. This was not the only post along this line by @thecreativeone91 but none of them were worthy of moderation IMO.
Everyone is allowed an opinion and even allowed to speak it when not defamitory, etc. to others.

Ahhh I remember that thread now. I would contest it. I went a little further and outright expressed concern that the OP was even asking such a question.
-
Okay, so what was the post?

In a nutshell, OP said they were contracted to build a VPN and they wanted to know how to make a proposal. Appeared to be an MSP who shouldn't be.
-
I think part of it is the OP is asking for a proposal but I think he has already gotten the job so proposal might be the wrong word. But still being moded for that doesn't seem right.
-
Here is the post.

Please note, the post was in English but everything is in Tokyo and prices in Yen. This means the OP is likely not using their native language.

Yeah I am guessing. I asked a question to try and clarify things a little. Hopefully that will help him get the information he needs:

a little clarification can go a long ways. I've seen really bad posts get turned around if the OP truly understands that their messaging was way off. Some people take it as an instant insult though.

I'm wondering if some of it's an issue with the new layout they rolled out or something. I'm noticing some posts are missing with the new layout. I can't even see some of my own that I'm getting spice notifcations for.

It is. I used it for about 10 minutes this morning and watched a single post, it never refreshed.
Known issue, it's only a test anyways so I switched back pretty quickly.
-
@Bill-Kindle How do you switch back?
Edit: Found it, it's buried on the footer.
So apparently I'm not actually in moderation (at least doesn't seem to be) the error stopped coming up when I switched back. -

We've had A LOT of bad luck with MSPs in the past. We used to just contract out for techs. It we've used a lot of MSPs for other projects just because we don't have a ton of staff in IT. But, most of the time these MSPs would take projects and then we'd find out they actually didn't know how to do the stuff yet, they planned on just guessing as they went or asking us a bunch of questions to get it done. I have no dobut that the bigger MSPs do better but they aren't around here. I think the majority of the super small ones are like that.
-
@thecreativeone91 what kinds of apps are you asking MSPs to help you support? If they are custom or apps that don't have a HUGE install base, think Windows, Office, browsers maybe something like MAS 90, etc... You're not going to find a single shop who can support all the little stuff. Anyone who does support that stuff is going to be more expensive because they have chosen to specialize in a smaller used product set, supply and demand tells you that their rates will be higher.
