Delay in Post Approvals

Dear members,

As you might have noticed, post approval tends to take more time than usual.
This has two main reasons that I would like you to be aware of:

Our current Moderator Team has less available time for moderation in general.
We have been experiencing a major spam bot attack. Thanks to our approval system, all these posts will never see the light of day on our forum! Unfortunately, while Delta is implementing countermeasures for this, we have to keep the spam topics in our approval system, mixing the few legit posts from you with hundreds of useless spam topics.

This will temporarely cause no new approval of new topics as we can simply not filter them. New replies to existing topics are not affected by this!

Please, if you have made a topic on our forum which has not yet been approved by a moderator, make a moderator or team member aware of this such that we can look up your post individually! You can reach us via PM, find us in the UGX-Mods Discord Server or simply leave a reply on this post!

On behalf of the UGX-Mods team,

Update 2020-12-30 17:10 UTC: Forum is back online - please report any issues via Twitter, Discord or email. Thank you

Maintenance starts at 30th December 2020, 16:30 UTC
The website and other services will be temporarily unavailable, more information about status / availability here: https://status.ugx-mods.com/

Hi @all,

we will end this year with a migration to another server, which is part of the upcoming bigger changes on UGX-Mods. (more info in the new year)
The transition will go probably smoothly, but just in case we expect a few hours of downtime or connection issue after the migration.

The new server will be Frankfurt, Germany - so you might notice a small delay (although the new server is more powerfull, so you might notice nothing at all

)

We will notify you on Discord & Twitter once the forum will be temporarly unavailable and the migration starts / ends.
During that short period, email support is also not available!

Please note: We will also migrate our development server (JIRA, Confluence)
without notice in the new two weeks, which means our knowledhe base
and support center is unavailable for a short period as well.
