Why can't I see my posts? / Why can't I message?

Matt_K · by **Matt_K** » 2018-03-25 10:16 a.m.

Hey all,

So I've gotten a few messages about the above two questions. For this weekend in particular, we wanted to make it easy to register so we relaxed the requirements for registration. As a consequence, that makes it easier for bots to register too. I've banned a number of them so far, as have a few other moderators but what keeps that from becoming evident is we have a two post minimum before your activity becomes public. I'm actually surprised at how well that has worked...

So in light of that, if you wish to participate without needing to make two more substantive posts, go ahead and reply to this message twice. Just make it substantive / specific enough that a bot wouldn't write it. That shouldn't be too hard as most of what the bots have written is something to the effect of:

Я обнаружил, что это действительно крутой угол Интернета, и вы должны присоединиться ко мне ниже по следующей ссылке, с которой я определенно не связан: www.mattkingsbury.com

(They weren't advertising for my site though ;) )

BGuttman · by **BGuttman** » 2018-03-25 10:28 a.m.

To add to Matt's explanation, posts not in English will probably be rejected. I've rejected posts in Cyrillic going back 2 years. If your native language is not English take advantage of a translator program. We'll try as hard as possible to figure out what you mean.

Matt_K · by **Matt_K** » 2018-03-25 10:34 a.m.

It's actually interesting, the few that I've banned have apparently not even been particularly well formed Russian. The grammar was apparently similar to:

hi, msg 4 u. get back 2 me

Source: My wife is a native Russian speaker. It's almost like someone ran it through Google Translator to get it into Russian. :?:

And I gotta say... some of the things I'll miss most about TTF are the emojis.

I can't tell you how many times I've started replying to an email, and got mad at GMail that I can't find the shrug or eyeroll emojis. "Pedantic lecturing" and "embarrassedly shuffling my feet" emojis were close seconds.

I'm happy to see TC features an eyeroll, at least. :roll:

BHolleyBrass · by **BHolleyBrass** » 2018-04-04 1:56 p.m.

....and this is my second post. Repair tech here. :-)

I got to look at a "Yamaha" flute a few days ago. Well, the sticker on the flute said "Yamaha," but the it looked and felt like a Prelude. The woman paid $200 for it new and thought she got a great deal. Still better than paying more for something of the same quality, I suppose. It was interesting to see such a brazen ripoff. And trombone-related: Parker/Houser's 4G N rims fit DE's XT cups very well in most cases. The DE rims do not, however, fit the Parker/Houser cups.

JackMadden · by **JackMadden** » 2018-04-04 9:05 p.m.

Ah, perfect! this is just the post that I was looking for! I'm on here because I heard of some trombones for sale that matched what I was looking for.

Best wishes,

JackMadden · by **JackMadden** » 2018-04-04 9:07 p.m.

Anyway, now this is my second post.

The reason why I'm here is that I've played bass trombone for years, and I've never really been a tenor player. I was asked to play the trombone book in a quintet about a year ago, and for the last six months borrowed a great Bach 42G from a friend. He needed it back, so now I'm in search of something along those lines.

Cheers!

you guys are a good lot, thanks for letting a complete newbie parent join in the conversation! I love learning from experienced people in all fields! thanks to all the mods for creating and managing this forum!

p.s. it seems that PMs are not functioning as expected for me, perhaps because of "new member" status? I can't seem to verify that they have sent. Some replies also just sit in the "Outbox" with no way to send.

BGuttman · by **BGuttman** » 2018-04-25 1:16 p.m.

We love newbie parents. Ask as many questions as you can. We're only here to help. Rather you buy something sensible than waste money on something you won't even be able to pass on if the kid decides he wants something else.

Btw, you didn't need to put two posts here. The two posts you put in the thread asking for help counted. You were able to send and receive messages as soon as the second one was approved by one of us Mods.

I've posted in other places in the forum, but I don't seem to be able to send messages at all (they get stuck as a draft).

bassbone · by **bassbone** » 2019-01-11 9:46 p.m.

Because of that, I thought I'd try stopping here and posting a few times to see if that fixes the message issue.

Pirx · by **Pirx** » 2019-01-15 9:49 a.m.

not a bot, just an amateur trombone player.

Pirx · by **Pirx** » 2019-01-15 9:50 a.m.

still an amateur.

baBposaune · by **baBposaune** » 2019-01-21 7:02 p.m.

To play trombone or not to play trombone, that is a silly question. I'm not a bot even though my ancestors came from Bothnia. (See what I did there? ;) )

baBposaune · by **baBposaune** » 2019-01-21 7:05 p.m.

Since I'm on a newbie roll I guess I'll send in reply number two so I can get all honors and benefits.

Meanmuggins · by **Meanmuggins** » 2019-01-27 10:39 p.m.

Replying so I can get private messages.

dgu · by **dgu** » 2019-02-14 3:37 p.m.

Been here a few months, but posting so I can do PMs!

dgu · by **dgu** » 2019-02-14 3:37 p.m.

Here's my second post - hopefully not the last

:hi: I am not a robot! Really! I promise...

Pudding · by **Pudding** » 2019-02-26 5:23 p.m.

I'm sure this must be a post....

Pudding · by **Pudding** » 2019-02-26 5:23 p.m.

It is, it is... ...it must surely be a post.

Hi - Here's my post #2! Thanks!

StephenA · by **StephenA** » 2019-03-26 11:51 p.m.

Making a first post. I promise I'm human!

StephenA · by **StephenA** » 2019-03-26 11:52 p.m.

And, a second post. Still human (as far as I know)!

MalignantCrib · by **MalignantCrib** » 2019-03-29 3:35 p.m.

First post-I'm pretty sure I'm human.

MalignantCrib · by **MalignantCrib** » 2019-03-29 3:41 p.m.

Second post-still haven't been consumed by robots.

onetrombone · by **onetrombone** » 2019-04-10 11:08 p.m.

First post: Long time TTF member finally making my journey here.

onetrombone · by **onetrombone** » 2019-04-10 11:09 p.m.

Second post: Looking forward to further interactions with other not-bots--not nano-bots. ;-)

Model34 · by **Model34** » 2019-04-11 4:10 a.m.

I would like Rath to make pices that are halfway between a 6 ½ and S5.Wahdo U thunk?

GroovesMcFly · by **GroovesMcFly** » 2019-04-23 12:37 a.m.

I made a post in another forum about System Blue trombones. Hopefully, posting here will allow me to be approved. Thanks!

Still not a bot, part 1?

ddsbstrb · by **ddsbstrb** » 2019-04-29 1:38 p.m.

My first post on trombonechat. I was very active on the TTF until around 2008, when gave up my job as a moderator over there. I didn't get back onto TTF much after that time. I am very glad to see that TromboneChat is a trombone forum and doesn't have the Chit-Chat area, like TTF. I could never understand the worth of that part of the TTF and added nothing to "the trombone," in my opinion.

Thanks for not carrying over that "playground" and keeping this a more trombone-centered forum, I have been lurking around a few times, especially in the classified section. I am getting ready to downsize this summer and will probably list some of my extra mouthpieces and a couple trombones which I no longer use. Good to see some familiar names over here!

Thanks for your efforts to keep a good trombone forum on the Internet!

BGuttman · by **BGuttman** » 2019-04-29 2:01 p.m.

Denny! Good to see you here. Glad you like the Forum Brian crafted. We try to keep the good parts of the OTJ Forum and The Trombone Forum without the sidebars. Not that we don't get requests to put them back ;)

Hope you'll stay for a while.

ddsbstrb · by **ddsbstrb** » 2019-04-29 6:18 p.m.

I hope to do a little posting around here, Bruce.

blass · by **blass** » 2019-04-30 9:36 p.m.

Hey I'm hoping this will be my first successful post. Great site for finding answers to burning questions as to why I can't seem to get any better even though I practice all the time!

Cheers, Blass

blass · by **blass** » 2019-04-30 9:37 p.m.

I am in fact human, not a bot, so here goes 2nd post.

Blass

piezer · by **piezer** » 2019-05-15 10:54 a.m.

pasting here because I just posted and forgot about the two post rule

piezer · by **piezer** » 2019-05-15 10:55 a.m.

posting here again because I'm not a robot. Thanks!

musicmark · by **musicmark** » 2019-05-23 6:46 p.m.

This post is to prove that I am not a bot. But a bot could probably write that?

musicmark · by **musicmark** » 2019-05-23 6:48 p.m.

This is my second post to prove that I am a human.

bsantero · by **bsantero** » 2019-05-24 4:04 p.m.

Oh, I guess this a 1st post to prove that I'm at least sentient and hopefully have my own free will.

bsantero · by **bsantero** » 2019-05-24 4:06 p.m.

And my 2nd post positing the idea that if I had my own free will, maybe I would have played the cello..

HGrobot · by **HGrobot** » 2019-06-16 2:00 p.m.

Posting here quickly because I keep forgetting about the two post minimum. That would probably help if I ever hope to actually post anything

tbonesullivan · by **tbonesullivan** » 2019-07-02 11:15 a.m.

Yeah, I waited way to long to register here, hoping TTF would reappear quickly.

dbwhitaker · by **dbwhitaker** » 2019-08-11 2:03 p.m.

I'm finally ready to post a question, so I guess I need to do this first.

dbwhitaker · by **dbwhitaker** » 2019-08-11 2:10 p.m.

Typing a second message. Also wondering how to edit "my stable" -- I can't find it under profile settings.

BGuttman · by **BGuttman** » 2019-08-11 2:24 p.m.

[quote="dbwhitaker"]Typing a second message. Also wondering how to edit "my stable" -- I can't find it under profile settings.[/quote]

Under your name (top right) you will find a down arrow which opens a menu. The first option is "User Control Panel". Your profile settings can be changed from within it.

onedecadelater · by **onedecadelater** » 2019-08-27 4:20 p.m.

reply #2, I am a human.

onedecadelater · by **onedecadelater** » 2019-08-27 4:21 p.m.

I am a human person who wants to talk about trombone stuff. hope this suffices

Anyone else feel like they don't teach their trombone beginners as well as they do other instruments?

Good afternoon fellow humans! My programming indicates that I am a normal human low brass player from Cleveland. Definitely not an undercover machine plotting the downfall of mankind. I promise!
