How can I contact a mod or admin?

Hello,

can somebody tell me, how I can contact a mod or admin. How do I find out, whom of them is online?
Thanks for your help!

If it's in regards to something that's posted on ECF, you can report it via the little triangle at the bottom fo the post.

There's also a "Contacts" tab at the very top of the forum that lists the various contacts for ECF.

Or (as I'm about to move this), you post your ECF question in the Site Feedback and Help forum.

Moved from New Members to Site Feedback and Help.

No, it is no question, nor it is something I want to report.

I just need some help posting something in a forum here on ECF, where I am still not allowed to post.

It is concerning the e-cig situation in Europe. I wanted to post a hip-hop song about it, which is really good. (Already 14.000 clicks on youtube within a couple days) We are trying that it will be played in European radio-stations, so more people become aware of the situation. That's why we need a lot of people all over the world who listen to the song and like it and most important who spread it in the E-cig-forums as well.

Can you help me please? Here's the song with English subtitles: [Edited - improper video]

As you're now over 5 posts, your account should update within the next half hour or so.

As long as the video meets the standards set by the forum rules (no profanity, etc.) you should be able to post it in the appropriate forum soon.

I think, everything's fine with it. You could check it, if you click on the link above. Thanks for your help!

>.< You want me to listen to hip hop? I HATE hip hop!

Fine. I'll go watch it.

Unfortunately, the video is inappropriate. If it contains language that would trigger the forum filters, it shouldn't be posted. Sorry.

Oooops, which word is wrong? Maybe the translation is not correct? It's not my song (I don't like hip-hop either), but the words are true for the situation. Tell me the word, and I'll pass it to the person who translated it to correct it.

I still remember enough Deutsch from my military days in Germany. The translation is correct, which unfortunately, makes it unsuitable for ECF.

 

[memyselfandi]

I am sorry, but I listened to the song 2 more times right now, just to figure out the words which you could have meant.
The two words, I was thinking about, were "Scheiß", which is "...." in English and the other one was "verdammt" which is damned.
No other "bad" words. But I put both words in the search and you find enough other postings where they are used.

We're not all seeing and do rely on the membership to point out posts that contain subject matter that are against the rules. As you can see in your post, the filters caught the first word. If it's something the filters catch, it's not appropriate. Pure and simple.

We are really sorry about this but ECF's job is to remain an ultra-respectable forum, in order to ensure that we cannot be dismissed as some form of underground site that has no relevance to health or regulatory issues. Our job at ECF is to collate and publish all ecig-related resources, including political and health data. As such, we must meet the same standards applied to other resources in these areas: doctors, politicians, regulators and advocates from around the world use ECF's materials.

There are many other forums that can publish the video. Sorry.
