... damnmit.
I thought I'd be smart, try submitting the thing from my development environment and see where it's hanging up.
Of course it worked just fine from my system.
That said, even after submitting it, and attempting to edit in the alterations I'm getting issues... I'm honestly think it's trying to protect others from the stupid.
It's in, I'm going to do some odd edits to it to get it all there, but this... this is just plain wierd.

Like I said, it's weird.
iIf I remove any given sentence from the post it submits just fine, if I leave it all in it dies out, even when I use the admin interface. I had to use my version of the code I work on to get the quote in there.
I don't see any strange characters, and that's not the reaction it should have to them anyway...

Hmm, the same thing's happened to me several times, but I never got round to posting about it.

Hi guys, I have been around the fstdt website for a while and I finally made an account. You know, long-time listener first-time caller.
I have been trying to submit quotes, good ones too. However, they never seem to get posted on the website. I check other entries to make sure I don't re-post and I usually go through the confirmation process without a hitch. Is there a queue or a backlog? I want to know in case I am doing something wrong when submitting the quotes.
Cheers.

There's an approval process, which generally weeds out 90% or so of the submissions.
Those who have been around since I last picked up new public admin members can vote on submissions. If the votes exceed certain thresholds they're approved an posted, or deleted and removed from consideration.
That said, lately the voters alone don't hit the approve threshold on their own. I'll go over a day's worth of quotes, or less if I get a good haul of them before that, each day. If some thing has received a decent response, I'll look over it, do any apparent editing needed and approve it, if it hasn't I typically bin it without reading over it. Though I do flush some quotes even if they're popular just because there's nothing amusing about them and they don't manage to cause me to froth while reading them.
My advice is something fundie and in some way evocative. Be it the person who said it, something horrible, something worse, or something funny as hell in the wrong context. Those are the most likely to get approved, if I'm sitting at work going 'Pew Pew Pew' all day because of a quote it'll sure as hell get approved. Short of that, it could be victim of just not sticking out enough from the mass of submissions.
The typical lag between submission and final assignment is about 3 days, if you don't see it by then it's not likely to pop up. If you see it before then enough people liked it that I wasn't the one doing the approval.
