I get it, I really do - but the comment approval process is proving a bit of a frustration for me at the moment lol and I imagine will do for any other ADHDers coming in to this site to try and earnestly engage
I was pretty happy to just grin and bear it (and still am for the most part) but I commented on a post last night and, it got approved overnight but I thought to myself "there's a little more I could add to this actually" so edited the comment, and the edit needs approval. Which is fine, but now the whole comment is gone because it's back in an "awaiting approval" state
It's mildly frustrating trying to have back and forth conversations with people when they're able to comment instantly and my comments only appear once or twice a day - the other day someone posted a question to ADHDers re mess, and I responded that day and over the course of the weekend a few people said something along the lines of "I'd be interested to hear the answer to this", and I'm like "I've tried to answer!" lol. Also one unfortunate ADHD side effect is - there's nowhere to see my "comments awaiting approval" and sometimes I genuinely can't remember if I actually replied to something I intended to or not.. I think I did? But I'm not sure
Like I say though I do get it - you've had abusive users in the past so some form of approval process was necessary, and you don't have many people approving, and they're doing it in their own free time - my comment was sat awaiting approval all weekend because, it's your weekend - and I genuinely am not asking you to deprive yourself of even more free time
This isn't a request to change things, just an expression of frustration lol, hope this makes sense
it's not right

just pushed back into "comment purgatory" (no malice in this label, only humour lol), am sure it'll reappear later, around when this comment appears!
