I can't answer your question but I dont want you to go away. We've lost to many already.

Have you tried shutting off your device, then restarting it? Reboot.

I clicked on your user name and saw many of your comments.

I doubt you could post this thread if you were banned.

Were the posts that got disappeared political in any way?

Not all are disappearing....otherwise the above would not be here :-) It is just a glitch. It even happened to me this weekend and I rarely ever encounter the glitches on this website that many others do.

If you had been banned you would not be able to sign in at all and your screen/user name and profile page would have been deleted.

I just don't see a point if my posts keep disappearing. Why stay if they aren't going to let me participate? and why won't they tell me why it is happening?

Jim, I turned my computer on not too long ago so it has been rebooted.

My last post was about me getting the covid vaccine, nothing political at all. It went away soon after I posted and then came back hours later when I checked again. Two other posts disappeared soon after I posted them. I'm sure this one will go away too. then the vaccine post went poof again. lol

If you were banned, more than your posts would disappear...your whole profile would disappear.

No, it is not any forum police....unless you could count Houzz admin as the "police".

My post that disappeared was also about the vaccine. That maybe a topic that Houzz considers political enough to ban. I know it was not any members meddling as the post never appeared at all, although it shows in my activity on my profile page.

There are certain key words or phrases that act as triggers and should your post contain them, it will not show up in the discussions.

Probably a glitch.

I commented on a home repair thread; the thread went dark. When I check 'my comments' the comment isn't there. But I got a notification in my email that someone had mentioned me on that thread...followed that link & posted two more follow up comments. Not one of the three comments show in 'my comments'.

So your comments could have melted into the ether like mine did. No explaining it!

It may be a glitch or it maybe certain political names in the posts are the cause. I had one go poof last week when I was responding to someone who asked about who said something.

I just don't see a point if my posts keep disappearing.

I for one would miss you if you were not here. It is possible that it is just a glitch. It is also possible that the forum censors are being idiots again.

If it is the former, in a day or two the glitches will be picking on someone else. If it is the latter, you should get in touch with Houzz.

the forum has covid...

I'm going to also guess glitch. Your vaccination appointment thread was in no way controversial - unless something was added after I last read and congratulated you since you are the first I know really scheduled. I don't think you could post if your posts were in question by 'those who monitor'.....;0)

I'm still happy for you. I know its early, but I'm already stressing about when I'll be asked to sign for permission for my mother. Her facility has been insisting on my signature, they no longer accept hers, not even for her annual flu shot in October. I have a window appt with her tomorrow, and one next week but suppose if those days don't work for someone in reception to meet me at the door since I can't go in, they could email the form to me, I can sign, scan, send back.

Morz8, I was just messaging a coworker and we both said we feel guilty for getting it so soon. We're afraid not to accept it, though, since it could then not be offered again for months or at all. We both have health issues as does just about everyone in my office so we do need it, we just think others need it first. I was really surprised that we were offered it in the first shipment. I thought it would be a few months at least. I hope your mom gets it soon.

System glitch....and I'm glad as a worker in the industry, YOU got the vaccine!

morz just a suggestion if the care center will allow. Ask them to tape a blank form to or next to their entryway unless the form must already have the resident's information on it. Fill it out and if they could provide a locked box that it could be slid into place it there or tape it back onto the entryway in reverse position if the entryway is not where staff can see it. Edited to add that you can take a picture of the document for your records.

I used the taping to a glass door method to pay my lawn and other delivery people this past summer.

Kaths, thanks. And I hope soon for her too. With her understanding more limited some days than others, there are periods she thinks she's done something wrong, loses understanding that its everyone in her facility being asked to stay in, wear a mask.

Don't you dare feel guilty for being scheduled early on. You go get that shot - and we'll cheer for you. Every single poked arm counts, yours no less than any others ;0)

I was just messaging a coworker and we both said we feel guilty for getting it so soon.

Oh, don't feel guilty Kath. If the vaccine prevents you from getting it, then it prevents you from spreading it to the rest of us. And around the healthcare setting? where you work. (And, yeh, I know there is some dispute about how the vaccine will work). Even if it doesn't shut down the spread, if it keeps you out of the hospital, out of ICU, then that is good for other people who will need the bed.

So be happy you're getting the vaccine & think of yourself as being out there on the Front Line helping to defend all the rest of us.

Kaths, so happy you will get injection. I agree it’s a glitch. Two of my post about something trivial was lost in space after posting. My son, is a frontline doctor received his injection yesterday. He was saying he wished he could have given his to me. No way, folks that are working with patients need them first. Don’t you dare think of not posting, you are a great addition to our TABLE.

If it makes you feel better, I had started a thread about the vcxc and it went bye bye as well.

Lucky duck, getting your vcxc so early. We are waiting to see when my grandmother can get hers.

I visited my doctor today for my annual physical. She sounded very grim about the current situation and said that she and all health care workers are extremely tired and stressed. She asked me to register my email with her office because she will do a group email when I am eligible to receive the vcxc. She said that she feels it would be too risky to have patients who refuse (without very good reason) the opportunity and will not continue to be their physician.

Honestly, do not take it personally. You should get the vaccine, you are saving others by doing it.

If you were banned, you'd be able to read only, and not post.

Yesterday, the first one was to receive in in Ontario was a PSW (personal support workers) for long-term care home.

Kaths, I hope it wasn't my post that made it disappear. I don't think there was a thing wrong with it, so I hope it was just a glitch.

From experience, if you can post you aren't banned.

Hey there, If you are signed into Houzz, you aren't banned. If you have a post disappear that has two possible causes - 1. It contained content that triggered our filter, and was reviewed by our team. If it was a false alarm, it was returned. 2. It may have been flagged by other members of the community, but that is unlikely to be the case if a post disappears immediately. Filters are in place to help maintain the health of the community, but they do require patience in the event something innocuous is temporarily delayed.

Hope that helps!

Don’t feel guilty! I just signed Kali up for a clinical trial for children, since they aren’t eligible for the vaccine and she’s at school everyday I want her vaccinated. Fingers crossed she gets it.

Don’t feel guilty about getting the vaccine first. It’s like the plane safety talk- if you are responsible for others, put on your oxygen mask first before assisting them. It’s the same with the vaccine- you can’t help others if you are sick or worse, G-d forbid.
