Ok so i don't like leaving posts with spelling errors. I don't want to suggest I'm a lazy or stupid typer, and i don't want to disrespect people trying to read here who have a right to expect decent grammar. Lately, since my Swype free trial expired, I'm using the stock keyboard and it makes way more spelling errors. But when i go to fix them, if i edit to fix the same post 2x, the forum bot removes my post i just corrected, and says it's holding it for approval. These posts never reappear. It's making me angry! Stop removing my corrected posts, evil robot thing!Ok I'm calm again. Thanks. =)

Use SwiftKey keyboard, great app

Title is confusing but spot on with the lost posts due to editing. They never do reappear.

If a post is 'lost' once you have posted, (it says something like this post requires moderation) you can ask a mod to retrieve it for you. I had a post yesterday that went missing even without any editing.

I had a post yesterday that went missing even without any editing. Sometimes when this sort of error occurs you’ll see the “moderation” message. In other cases, your post just disappears into the ether with no message/feedback whatsoever. In either case, it’s not usually worth bugging the mods about so that they can eventually restore a post that’s probably no longer relevant to the thread in question.

The always helpful mod J Colombo found one for me but couldn't find a second...After asking twice I'm not going to keep bothering him. But it does feel like, well I had something I wanted to say, and now it needs approval because I correct my errors too much. Whatever though. Nothing I say is that important anyway! I just like getting it in print because good luck remembering later.

Do any of these censored words appear in EA games that are rated "Everyone"?

I've lost several posts this way and don't think any of them reappeared later, even after I sent a PM to a moderator. It's frustrating, I can't think of any valid reason for multiple edits of a new post to be disallowed.

LPN has even had words edited out of game quotes in the WALKTHROUGH.
My problem is when I type too fast on my iPad it will miss a letter once in awhile and then substitute some random word, or worse "auto incorrect" thinks it knows more of what I want to say and change words. It's annoying, but if I had to make sure every post was perfect, I usually wouldn't have time to post.

Don't you mean "Lowest Common Denominator"?

@simp7fan I'm on a mobile device. Either my iphone5s (less often as it's much slower) or my iPad Air 1. But I'm used to it, so it seems easy to me I guess.

My posts are messy and I usually leave them like that but I did get that moderator thing today.
