Reasons your post hasn't been published!
Olivia @ the BNC
15 November 2018
We're all getting used to using the Hub at the moment, and some of you will notice that your posts aren't being published. Read on to find out why.
We won't publish...
- Posts that repeat an idea that has already been talked about. Make sure your read all the posts first. If someone else has written about your idea, you should COMMENT on their post and join the conversation.
- Posts that are one sentence long. Posts should be longer and more developed. Perhaps a paragraph of ideas, or some research (in your own words) with a question. If you have one sentence to add, write it as a comment on a different post.
- Posts that aren't about the Issue. We keep all conversation focused on the current BNC topic!
- Posts with pictures from other websites. We can't use any photos that we don't own, as they don't belong to us!
We LOVE reading your ideas, so please follow this advice and keep them coming to win some stars! You can find out how to win on the Hub here.
REMEMBER: YOU ARE JUST AS LIKELY TO WIN STARS ON COMMENTS - SO START OFF THERE BEFORE YOU WRITE A POST!

Thanks for the tips.
Thank you Olivia fo telling us this.
Thank you Olivia for sending this because now everyone can know what to do.
Thanks so much I have written a post before I read this no wonder it did not get published I think I had the same idea as some one else
When you write a post, does it need to be factual or can you include some opinions?
Opinions are great! Make sure you write your reasons to explain why you hold your opinion. Also, we welcome more creative posts, like poems, stories, pictures you have drawn or videos (all about the current Issue)!
This is very awesome , thank you for the tip’s!
cool thanks
excuse me but could I do an autism post as I am high functioning and I am interested to write and see what reply's come
Hi methodical_engine! Thanks for your enthusiasm. Unfortunately, as that's not on topic this time, you won't be able to. Perhaps in the future it'll be linked to one of the BNC issues that we are looking at, so it might be a good idea to wait a while and see if this happens at later date!
I think I read someone who likes autism and it was given a star and it was posted
You're right, I posted one in the first few weeks of term when everyone was getting used to the website. Now, I think you've learnt so much about Myanmar that you'd write a great post or add some fantastic comments on that topic! We'd love to hear your unique voice on what you've found out about in your sessions.
I think I have created a post . I'm not so Shure as I might have done it when I was told the info . please could you check for me
I think I haven't done one as i have had had a look
I don't think you have yet. You can recap the instructions here: https://www.burnetnewsclub.com/hub-help/for-students/how-write-post/
OK
thanks i am new to this so thank you so much
no problem . I asked : )
Thank you so much this saved me a lot of drama.
no need to worry . its my question i asked to get the answer you were looking for . im always here if you need me : )
thank you your post really helped
Thanks for informing me. Do posts about finance, poverty and things in that area count as the current topic?
I HAVE TRYED EVERYTHING MY AUTISTIC MIND CAN DO AND I JUST CANT SEEM TO GET STARS
I HAVE ALSO LOOKED AT THE HOW TO GET STARS WEBSITE ON BNC PLZ CAN YOU HELP
thanks for letting me know
This helps a lot, especially for those who don’t do what they’re supposed to.
Of course. How about entering this week's weekly competition? You might be able to win a star there. Or, you could tell me why there was a financial crisis in 2008 and explain as clearly as you can!
If they're linked to the financial crisis, then yes - especially if they have examples to support your point.
Thank you Olivia for giving us the information. This is useful to know.
How long will it take for a post to be published? Only mine has been waiting for approval for about 2 or 3 days now...
Usually posts are approved the same day, unless it's a weekend when they may take a bit longer. If your post hasn't been approved, it might be because it was too short, or repeated an idea that had already been discussed.
Thanks it’s been posted now, I was just wondering though!
im waiting for a post to approved and its about why people lost their jobs and it took me half an hour to write. Still not to sure why it hasnt been posted but i'll continue the wait :)
Claire @ the BNC 3 weeks ago in reply to lovely_sealion's comment
Hi lovely_sealion, thanks for taking the time to write a post! Posts are usually approved during working hours, so between 9.30 and 5.30, but occasionally can take longer, especially over the weekend. As you wrote your post in the evening, it won't be approved until tomorrow.
Thanks that was very useful
Yes thank u so much for this tip
thanks
It’s good to be Patient
It’s good to be Patient
I have made a mistake on a post before and corrected it , this has helped me understand more .
Thanks Olivia!
Thank u that Had really helped me now or I’m going to write a post
I have written some posts but they have not been approved yet.
You can check your posts (even if they haven't been approved yet) on 'My Posts'.
Is this the same with comments? And what do you have to include for your comment to be approved, and I'm very sorry; I'm having lots of problem, but my comment on the Weekly Competition has not been approved....🙂
At the weekend the BNC team aren't on the Hub, so you might have to wait until Monday for comments to be approved if you write them after 5pm on a Friday!
If you've read this post and think that your submission fits the criteria, then it might just be because it's the weekend! BNC HQ don't go on the Hub on Saturdays and Sundays, so be patient, and hopefully it will appear!
Ok thank you! Again I'm sorry for bothering you
Thank you! I found what I did wrong!
thanks and also the post that I was waiting for approval has got a star!!!
Im waiting for a post for a whole week and it is not any of the above.
Hello, I checked why it was rejected and found that your post repeated something that was already written. Posts should take some time to write, perhaps you would like to do some research, or draft your post to make sure it is a really high standard. We want posts to be the super-starters for interesting discussion! I'd recommend starting off in the comments section, before you have a go at posting. Thanks!
