Okay fine but it says that my post was "reported". First it said it is awaiting to be authorzied. Then it was displayed in full. Then it said it's been "reported"! My question is what was it reported for and by who? It is very strange
Okay fine, jazakumullah. However, please take a look at this post below

I find it very strange that there was no discussion by "admin" about this? Nobody "reported" this post? So as soon as something gets "reported", then "admin" has to be called up? Please be consistent in your application of rules. There was absolutely nothing insulting in my post as far as I can tell? It was simply academic points, in which I tried to clear what I saw were misunderstandings in this thread.
May Allah make your work easy for you. How in the world the above post by streetfighter, and many others, were "relevant to the thread" is beyond me. Yet, my post is "reported" and these are happily sitting on the thread because they are "relevant"?
Anyway I've sent my points. If Allah accepts it, then people can benefit, but I can't help but feel a very strange type of censorship, all under the control "admin".
Brother, it's nothing to do with censorship, as brother abu Mohammed has already stated admin will see to your post, as we only authorize, we don't have all the features available to us that can deal with certain technical issues on the forum.
جزاك الله خيرا
I haven't been on the site in 2 days. Please enquire using the contact us page if you have doubts before assuming and posting for everyone to get the wrong impression. If what you are claiming is true then I would remove all your posts and no one would be the wiser.
Your post was reported by Taalibah.
I was not informed about this. I have not even read your reported post yet.
Taalibah will reply to this thread explaining why she reported it. I will check the post now and see what's what.
You claimed: "but I can't help but feel a very strange type of censorship, all under the control "admin"."

Since Taalibah reported my post, my question is why? And why she found no reason to report streetfighter's inflammatory posts?
She will reply inshaAllah.

FYI, the post which was reported and marked for approval by admin, is my first post on this thread on page 3
Jazakallah. And I read the post after and now realise why you said what you said. Taalibah's quote:

It will be at admins discretion whether to remove or replace the post or remove any errors.
Without giving reason she instantly referred it to me. I was unaware of this and what she means is that once a post is deemed to be breaking rules, it's reported. I check after and most of the times it's put back with minor changes. In this case there was nothing wrong and it was put back by the 2nd admin "member2"

I'm not a member here, so don't know about how things work.
This is more of a reason not to make claims about the "admin"
Quote:
But if there is only one admin, then it would make sense to be online more frequently.
Who said there's only one admin? Did you not read me stating "2nd admin" approving your post in my last post? And also, this is the very reason we have authorisers. Please respect the efforts of the authorisers who do their utmost best to keep the forum clean.

anyway this is standard experience on online Islamic forums - they never work smoothly
I find this forum running more smooth than any other I've seen. All forums have trolls but Alhamdulillah we have none (regular) and when there are (rarely), they're squashed like bugs by our amazing members.
Anyway, back to topic please. Any further discussion on this will be removed without notice or explanation.
I reported it at as I felt it would lead to dispute between guest poster and brother muadh, which would derail the topic, I wanted second opinion by reporting the post. In the meantime brother abu Mohammed checked the post and said the post was fine, so a request was made to sister admin to replace the post. Which was done. Jazakallah
Okay. Jazakumullahu khayran for taking time out to reply. I'm sorry I don't mean to accuse you of censorship, but it was a feeling, not an accusation/claim.
Anyway, I suppose nothing will be done with streetfighter. Let's ignore that topic and put it under the carpet, because only our precious members are allowed to "report" - if you're a guest, you are an outsider, so you will be kept at arms length, and treated low. In fact, your posts will get immediately "reported" on some weird suspicion about conflict between a "guest and a PRECIOUS member". Well, you can keep your precious members, but it would do well for you to rectify the issue being discussed on this thread, where your members are by and large happy in destroying the concept of TAQWA - especially if this website is run by a MUFTI
You can choose to not approve this post as you said you will not accept anything on this topic - yes, standard practice on online islamic forums. Maybe it'll be better to remove all posts except my first one, for the smooth reading of this thread.
I'm sorry I missed your point about 2nd admin. Okay so there are two admins. Mashallah. That's nice to know. Hope you are both doing well.
I did not read or approve streetfighters posts or report them, because I wasn't on ms at the time, there are also other authorizers on ms who check posts before approving them, we are all in khidmet of ms and are on ms at various times due to personal commitments, it is not possible for an individual authorizer to keep track of all conversations and topics that take place on the forum. Sometimes we make correct judgements sometimes we don't, but we help each other out and we try our best to make the right decision which is in best interest of forum. Alhumdulillah.
I understand thank you for taking time out to explain. It's okay nothing is ever perfect, and someone will always disagree. May ALLAH make the work easier for all

May be best to delete all posts since my first entry, because there's nothing really constructive. This is my last post now about admin related matters on this website. Ill try to keep up with discussion, but may just drift away
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
We apologise but you have been denied access to report posts in this thread. This could be due to excessively reporting posts and not understanding our forum rules. For assistance or information, please use the forum help thread to request more information. Jazakallah
