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!
If you have any questions about how to write posts or comments, please comment below!

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
Boutcher C of E Primary School 11 Oct 2018
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)!

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!
Weston Favell Academy 15 Oct 2018
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.

Graveney School 08 Nov 2018
Thanks for informing me. Do posts about finance, poverty and things in that area count as the current topic?
Weston Favell Academy 08 Nov 2018
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
Streatham Wells Primary School 08 Nov 2018
thanks for letting me know
Ben Jonson Primary School 08 Nov 2018
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.
St Edward's Catholic Primary School 10 Nov 2018
Thank you Olivia for giving us the information. This is useful to know.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 11 Nov 2018
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.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 12 Nov 2018 in reply to Olivia @ the BNC's comment
Thanks it’s been posted now, I was just wondering though!
Notley Green Primary School 14 Nov 2018
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 :)
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.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 15 Nov 2018
Thanks that was very useful

Millbank Academy 16 Nov 2018
I have written some posts but they have not been approved yet.
Millbank Academy 17 Nov 2018 in reply to methodical_engine's comment
You can check your posts (even if they haven't been approved yet) on 'My Posts'.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 17 Nov 2018 in reply to Olivia @ the BNC's comment
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!
Boutcher C of E Primary School 19 Nov 2018 in reply to Olivia @ the BNC's comment
Ok thank you! Again I'm sorry for bothering you
Millbank Academy 19 Nov 2018
Thank you! I found what I did wrong!
Notley Green Primary School 20 Nov 2018 in reply to Claire @ the BNC's comment
thanks and also the post that I was waiting for approval has got a star!!!
Millbank Academy 20 Nov 2018
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!

Aw I spent alot of time on that one.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 15 Dec 2018
I am very sorry to disturb you, but I'm trying to "submit for approval" a post, but I'm trying again and again, yet it doesn't seem to work. Please reply soon!
Hi content_lemon, I can't see any posts from you that are waiting to be approved. Can you let me know a bit more information about what is going wrong? There's a chance that it might be your internet connection at home, so you might have to wait until Monday when you get to school to get your teacher to help you.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 16 Dec 2018 in reply to Claire @ the BNC's comment
Thanks for replying, I've written a post that I want to submit for approval, but, and I've tried it again today, whenever I press the button - like I usually do - nothing seems to be happening. We are on holidays, so, sadly, I cannot ask my teacher for help (although I would). I've tried maybe 3 or 4 times now, and even tries retyping it on another draft then pressing it (as I thought it might be a bug or the case that it got stuck or something) but it doesn't work. I doubt it is the internet, as I've been writing comments perfectly well... Sorry that I'm a bit challenging!
Hi content_lemon, thank you for explaining, you're right! I created a test post and it didn't work either. We'll get our web team onto this tomorrow when they are back at work and get this fixed!
Boutcher C of E Primary School 17 Dec 2018 in reply to Claire @ the BNC's comment
Thanks a lot Claire!
Boutcher C of E Primary School 17 Dec 2018
I just tried and it works now!!
Great news, I'm glad you managed to add your post. And well done on your star!
Millbank Academy 18 Dec 2018
I just want to ask,how do delete a comment?
You can't delete a comment once published. We read everything before publishing any comments or posts.
Boutcher C of E Primary School 25 Dec 2018
I've been waiting for my post to be published for about two days and its not published yet.
Hi believable_introduction! Like your school, we're all on Christmas holiday too! We'll be moderating the Hub over the holiday but might be a bit slower due to mince-pie overload. Have a lovely holiday!
Boutcher C of E Primary School 28 Dec 2018
Oh that's why. Sorry for that, happy holidays to you too.

Can you get stars from writing poems and how do you upload other creative stuff on posts?
You can, yes.
Your teacher can help you upload a video or picture you have drawn.
