No, you did not lose your OP Posting privileges. Your status is brought in line with the rest of CMs who post OPs.
There were recent glitches in WP however that was not so much the factor. Collectively we came to the conclusion that CMs should have pending OPs go through Mod Review, i.e. “R&I” before publish. This serves a number of purposes:
(1) It ensures the channel is not being spammed (i.e. multiple OPs out by one person)
(2) It ensures authoring guidelines are being adhered to.
(3) It ensures all CMs who put out OPs are getting a fair shake, that no one CM is being favored over the other.
Not all CMs have posts go through Mod R&I. This is clearly obvious because when R&I is done the Mod initials the bottom of the article posted. Many Non-Mod CM Posts still remain without that review.
Authoring Guidelines
Author a Post
If you wish to be added as an Author on the Breaking News & Religion forum then please submit a request here:Â I Want to be an Author
Otherwise, you may submit a post down below using this simplified authoring tool. Please note:
- Only registered Authors can write Perspectives pieces.
- Only registered Author OPs are published immediately.
- If you are already an Author here, you do not need to request to be an Author again. Please use WordPress to create and publish your OPs.
- This ‘Author a Post’ tool is only intended for those who do not have Author permissions to publish via WordPress. It utilizes a Restricted Author account that sends your post to a Pending queue for a Moderator to Review/Approve.
- Please review the Authoring Guidelines.
-  Only MY ability to immediately publish ops has been removed. Nobody elses
- The Author a Post directions still provide that registered Authors have immediate access
I was a registered Author with immediate publishing rights. Now I am a registered Author without Immediate publishing rights
The Bullshit above by Darth is a lie. It is subterfuge.
I have been a Mod for three Channel over 5 Years, 2 of them Simultaneously. I know how this works
When your Senior Mods have to lie to people in your resolution channel you have hit the bottom.
I am a registered Author. Why have my “immediate” publishing rights been removed unlike all other registered Authors? And differently than you advertise in your “Author a Post Section”.
