I was trying to express my joy of finally arriving in London, recounted my experience with Immigration and have used what I thought were mild expletives and my post has been withheld.

I tried to start another post and taken out the expletives and the 'clean' version has still been withheld.

Not fair. Not happy.

It's amazing which posts are withheld for 'moderation'. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason for it.
And then later - sometimes as much as a day later - they appear here.

And yet, maybe if you write a 'banned' word with an asterisk or two ...? let's try it: - b*hind; - a totally innocuous word I used in a posting which was held back for moderation.

+Oooh - it worked! Maybe we should try this more often? Problem is, it's hard to know what words might trigger 'moderation - which to my mind is an extremely d*rty word+

Good grief! I 'asterisked' behind because it was the only word I could think of that might be construed as 'off'' in a posting I made last week.
There seems to be no sense at all in this....

Glad to hear that I am not the only one sent to the sin bin. Lol
