So I'm entering contests and everything is going in, Except when I entered the Who is the spooky croopsie in Farm Heroes Saga. It's telling me again that my post has to be approved first before being posted. 1st-Why, and 2nd, I hit Reply again and got a Spam Block for 180 seconds for posting twice in 30 seconds...Really. This is the reason I stopped entering contests in Farm Heroes Saga when I had to upload pics. All of my posts had to be approved first. This isn't the situation I had for the contests Spooky Math Fun and the Community Wide 2022 Halloween contest. But the Guess Who the Spooky Croopsie hung me out to dry. Any thoughts??

    Hi Jay 🤗

    I do not have an answer that is going to help you!! But, just wanted to say that you are not alone 💜

    Many players are experiencing the same issue to post their comments, screenshots, approvals, what not 😔 I am having trouble with posting some of my comments as they just stay in Drafts, and that's it!! And the 180 seconds spam blocker - we (the MoDs) always experience that 🤦

    It is all the "good acts" 🤪 😵of the Vanilla Editor which King Community uses!!


    We have already reported about these glitches, so hopefully, the fix will be in soon 👍️ But, until then, please bear with us 🙏

    It just means you are posting too fast! Everyone has to deal with it, unfortunately. Wait 3 minutes after getting that message and you can post again :)

    The spam block has been going on for a long time. Just try not to be impatient or it ends up at 5 minuites!!

    If its telling you that your post needs to be approved though, that is because it has a trigger word in. Due to spam abuse the editor has filters and while you may mean it innocently...it can flag it. But when a CM checks it, they are usually released.

    I've hit that with contests too!

    Screenshot uploads should be fine though now, I think there was an issue at one time, but it was resolved.

Hey! Would you like to give us your opinion?
