Nope. Not there.

Somebody may have flagged it as spam; if so, after review the mods may return it. It would still be visible to you just not to the rest of us. I'd try again, maybe without linking to her blog that she makes $$ from your post. That might have been the spam alert for someone.

Try posting to it and see if it bumps.

There's a lot of weirdness here lately. Posts can take many hours to show up, and putting an image in a first post seems to slow things down even more.

Not only do they take many hours sometimes they take many days I'm still waiting on one that I replied to three days ago.

Peppa, I sent you a message, did you get it? That post probably won't show up. She is persona non grata on Houzz.

I don't pay much attention to the decorating side, but I remember seeing a post about that person. No doubt that's why your thread never appeared.

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about that. Yeah, I doubt any post with that name will ever appear here.

What Sherry said.

Try reposting about the sale without mentioning her name.

Why does Houzz delete posts that mention her name?

If you do a search of her name, it shows up in old and current posts.

Graywings, when I search I see nothing after the big kerfuffle last spring.

Dragonflywings, google the name + houzz and you will find a blog post that should explain why.

She is mentioned in a thread from June 7, 2018 with a link to her website.

[Design guidance[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/design-guidance-for-new-home-paint-help-dsvw-vd~5340876?n=20)

And this one from this month:

[Channeling Diana Vreeland[(https://www.houzz.com/discussions/channeling-diana-vreeland-and-billy-baldwins-garden-in-hell-in-dallas-dsvw-vd~5441159?n=60)

That is interesting graywings. The "Design Guidance" thread doesn't come up at all when I search, using the site search here.

Very interesting reading - her name + houzz on google! I think, after reading what she's written that it's a miracle there is any semblance of Garden Web left.

I guess I glazed over that post of hers!! Ok, so she has a strong dislike for houzz-but to censor my post because I mentioned her name? Is that wrong??

And Sherry, nope........ no message from you. If I'm looking in the correct place-under messages.

It may not have been censored, just flagged by someone who doesn't like her. Wait and see if it reappears. Or, like I said, try posting the info without a link to her blog. That link may be the problem.

PS...love the print. Are you saying goodbye to the heron, or hanging it on the other side?

Thx writersblock. I do recall that article now that you point it out. I did not know about the censorship though. Does anyone know if Houzz has scrubby bots or is it Houzz loyalists who flag posts they know the moderators will want to pull? Maybe there's a bounty.

I see it under sent to you, Peppa, 10 hours ago and one to writersblock 4 hours ago. If it had went through, it should be under inbox. Since it had a link, it is probably blocked also.

Sherry. I don't show any message from you. I suspect that while they may tolerate reference to her, links to the shop part of her site are probably not allowed.

There are a few well-known sites that usually can't be linked here, including one for tilers and one for plumbers.

So it maybe was interpreted as an advertisement? These days, what with so-called native advertising, it is difficult for folks to differentiate between sponsored ads and sincere testimonials.

I was also going to suggest checking the 'Unanswered' section @ the top of the forum, but I did not see it in there.

And I'm guessing this is likely to be covered somewhere in the user agreement/rules...?

I guess I really thought a message between people was ok.

..and wouldn't be read by others, hopefully

Rather disturbing realizations all around, aren't they?

And beyond hypocritical if true to object to some advertising when promotional spam posts are now allowed, in addition to the purpose of Houzz being to sell things.

I don't think it's the advertising, though. I think it's the person and the blog post being entirely too on the nose.

oh it was a constant topic on a big Russian-speaking forum I stopped visiting 5 years ago..can admins/moderators read private messages, and if yes-do they?

moderators probably couldn't, technically speaking. Admins most likely could

All would deny they did, saying they have enough to read as is-which also rang as true

but yes, disturbing thought.

I have lived through all this, know nothing about the person you speak of, note it is really hard to get such a status, normally they just pull you. and yes, they reserve the right to read everything you put on houzz private or not.

anyway i have a problem with posts, does emily normally come in here?

havingfun, if you can tell someone how to replicate your problem go to the very bottom of this page and click ''contact us''. Look for "submit a report' and under that click ''profile support''.✔

There's also a 'Using Houzz' forum

https://www.gardenweb.com/discussions/tag=517

if you use the houzz one it is clearer.

Albert i have found that emily normally replies faster, and i really do not how to tell them how to create the problem besides start a thread. i have listed this in a couple spots.

I haven't seen the post, but my guess is based on how it is written that it was flagged as spam and removed.

lyfia, no htey are there, they are just not emailing me when people come on them. and the truth lyfia is that unless it is glaring in its meaness they rarely remove threads for long, even when flagged.
