Don’t be worried if your comments are in a holding pattern “awaiting approval”, it’s not you.
As you know for Treeper privacy purposes, at CTH we operate a proprietary commenting system and do not use any tech systems that can open us up to Big Tech instability vectors.
We are currently in a little bit of a battle with the internet mafia, related to our core position on commenting privacy and proprietary control.
It’s a long story that you will eventually hear about as we refuse to concede an inch on user privacy.
Bottom line, if you find your comment “awaiting approval” don’t worry, it will surface after a bit of a delay.
We, in combination with our Rebel Alliance members, are working on a parallel track for a solution short-term and long-term. The internet comment mafia will not win. Our conversation, and user engagement, will always remain secure and private.
Thanks for the heads-up Sundance.
Treepers here have your back. Keep up the good work.
No worries — we trust you!
That there’s a future PBR Champion, 🙂
Pabst Blue Ribbon?
That too, tall neck . 😉
Thanks Sundance, we are prepared to “cowboy up”!
Deepest admiration for your principled stance.
That is worth a donation. Thank you, Sundance!
Yes, yes… gentle reminder: don’t be shy with that “Donate” button, folks! :^)
I was going to post a “Thank You etc…” but a donation is a better idea. I hope it will process this time.
Like button click, pending approval 😊
I wondered what was going on. Thanks for letting us know. I’ve changed my name in the last couple of years but I’ve been a treeper since I first discovered you and if I’m not mistaken it was the early GWB years. Sure been a lot of stuff exposed since then.
Thank you for letting us know. And, thank you for the years of information here at CTH.
Great to know that The Conservative Treehouse will always BE UNMUTUAL!
A great series. Way ahead of it’s time.
I appreciate you standing firm on this one Sundance. The monopolies’ tentacles seek out every means of control. Truly free press is an existential threat.
Thanks SD. It happened to me as I commented on the Procter & God price increase announcement. I got a little anxious, but as you state, it got posted.
Thanks for calming us down SD. Leadership by example in action! You’re the best.
Can’t wait to hear the story of the battle with the “Internet Mafia”
Thank you.
Can’t wait to hear the full story
I hope this does offend any one when I say this is a community position :
WE ARE ALWAYS HERE TO SUPPORT AND HELP !
THANK YOU MORE THAN I CAN EXPRESS !
No need to post my comment. I just wanted to thank you guys for your work.

This is one of the few usable conservative sites left for making comments because the site is filtering out the pernicious shills/bots designed and paid for by Big Tech which were unleashed upon on the Net en masse.
Open AI’s GPT-3 bot software was released free to the public in 2020 and it’s fundamentally altered discourse on any targeted conservative site. Heavy waves of anti-Trump shilling. This is not by coincidence. Open AI is almost certainly connected to the Left and/or Intel community.
The Left doesn’t seem interested in defending Biden or his administration on conservative sites. The bots are almost always strictly trained attacking Trump through a variety of means: concern trolling, well poisoning, hammering his negatives, and attempting to split up his base.
Yes, thanks for the heads-up;
any chance while tweaking the system that it will be possible to see the return of the notification bell so that when comments are made on posts we can follow up with responses, extended conversations in lieu of having to re-find the post to see if there is any follow-up?
sorry, had to ask 🙂
Thank you for all you are doing Sundance and Admins.
Well, THAT explains a lot.
Never give in, never, never, never!
God bless CTH.
Please tell us all about the Internet Mafia and the struggle underway !
It’s amazing how you keep a step ahead of internet mafia. Thank you. We trust you.
Mine has already surfaced quickly and an email sent to confirm that my comment was approved. I will await the CTH to expose in time what is happening. I may be totally off base, but it appears this “internet mafia” is acting like the global Communist uniparty trying to divide, discourage and pressure us by their shenanigans.
Keep on keeping on with the truth and information Sundance, The Last Refuge and patriot readers/commenters, our Republic is at stake!
It’s so f’ing cold here tonight, I have to deal with my pipes freezing.
Yet I never have to worry about Sundance doing what needs to be done to keep things running.
We patriots do what we need to do, and understand the minor glitches. We’ll get it sorted out. Patience and perseverance.
Keep the tap running, at more than a drip. Always works for us?
👏👏👏. Great job adrem, wee weed, Sundance, all others…
Our comments were quickly posted, despite a short delay.
Here’s to you all
🥃
Thank you for all you do to expose the truth.
Thanks lolli! 😘
❤️ Hope y’all get a break, soon.
Can confirm. Ad rem is the best!
Ya, it’s happen to me on my two posts today…Thought it might be due to my vpn…Thanx Sundance for the heads up..
I thought the masters of the universe are in total control of everything? Why then do they need to shut down all this resistance? Aren’t we just a small insignificant bunch of “anti authority nut jobs”?
“working on a parallel track for a solution short-term and long-term”
a better ‘track’ would be to, pro-actively, ‘take out’ the comment mafia….
𝘷𝘪𝘻 most of the big ‘social media’ ;
FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram etc.
a n° of ‘strategies’ suggest them-self(s):
for instance: hit their (biggest) advertisers;
if some of those big companies, even, get a few thousand actual complaints in writing (pref. via letter/snail-mail or fax), then, they, very quickly, get COLD FEET and, more likely than not, PULL their ads.
watch the ‘social media’ giants SQUIRM, then…
another strategy is to ‘buy up’ $several hundred million$ worth of stock and, then, suddenly, DUMP it…
IIRC: this was, recently, tried with silver stocks …..
to make these BASTARDS ‘play fair’, you have to HURT THEM….
and to do that, you gotta HIT them where it HURTS…..bad….
that’s: financially…..
another strategy is to ‘buy up’ $several hundred million$ worth of stock and, then, suddenly, DUMP it…
I’m willing to put up my $several hundred million$
… but you first, eh mate? Lemme know …
I’m here all week … try the veal …
I’m willing to put up my $several hundred million$
50k people ‘put up’ $2k each….
that’s a hundred mil’ for starters…
For your consideration…
-Facebook and Google accused of ‘secret deal’ to carve up ad empire
https://nypost.com/2022/01/14/facebook-and-google-accused-of-secret-deal-to-carve-up-ad-empire/
My comments have approved relatively fast. So despite the issues, it’s apparent that the CTH Team is working hard tonight.
Very Much Appreciated!
Sundance, Ad_rem, WeeWeed, Menagerie, and all other Mods.
I understand. I went on a high and low search for a unique, simple solution for WordPress comments. Disable comments was it. 😂
I find the comments to be as insightful and rich as the stories themselves. Always worth my time to read.
No big deal to me waiting for my 2 cents to post….. We’ll get there.
This place is the absolute best read of the day! Thanks to all who make it what it is.
You all work so hard. Thank-you.
And honestly, even if my comment doesn’t get thru sometimes it just feels darn good…. to punch on the key board keys and type out my thoughts then click on the post comment button…. because I am so ticked off at what is happening to us and America. It is my therapy!!
No probs, Sundance, keep on keepin’ on. Add extry ads if you need to, brother.
As the old saying is, “If you’re copping flack – you’re over the target”
Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the clarity! Love this site and am so blessed to be here.
Gosh I love y’all!
And to the internet mafia I say, yippee ki-yi-ay…well, y’all know the rest.
To them I say God Forgives You.
Thanks for the heads up. So gracious to even take the time to explain to your readers and those who comment.
Sorry for another to have to approve but…
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO.
CTH IS A LIFELINE IN A SEA OF MADNESS.
xoxoxoxoxox
The Tree stands tall.
Roots are deep.
Amen.
And fed by living waters.
Thank you for the update but most of all thank you for fighting! This place is the best.
You guys are awesome! Just an FYI locally (Phoenix)550 KFYI James T (Conservative Circus) gave you props this morning. I knew he was a follower by the news he was sharing. I always recommend this site first above all others. I really enjoy the writing and very informative journalism!
Thanks, I had questioned my comments being approved. Didn’t see this ’til afterwards. Was wondering if that ordeal of a year or so ago was back to bite us in arse!
I had just exited months of “Awaiting an Approval” notices on every comment I left. I thought I was back in moderation purgatory!
Carry on….
My speculation is the Treehouse is being bombarded with enemy comments and the workable solution is to throw all comments into moderation and only approve ones from a white list of prior commenters, Treepers with a commenting history, that sorta thing
But like I said, just speculation
Wrong.
Hi Stella, thanks for working the night shift. Thx to all you great Admins and Super Sundance.
Succinct…and to the point😄
” bombarded with enemy comments”
doesn’t work….
they’v had ‘armies’ of those clowns ‘out there’ for yonks posting their puke here, there & every-where….
they just got chewed up and SPAT out and made to look like the loons they are….
tht’s why most ‘social media’ now has ‘AI’ editors blocking ‘unacceptable’ comments….
and why they indulge in ‘mass bannings’ ….
IOW: they are, basically, admitting that TPTB have, for all intents and purposes, lost ‘the intellectual high ground’ ….
now: all they got is coercion, intimidation and naked force…
One way to fix this is to make everybody a moderator… or at least, choose 100 users that have been around for a while and make them all moderators, put them in a “moderator pool”.
Then send an email to the moderator pool when a post gets posted and held up. Surely, someone will approve it quickly.
My comment below is “awaiting approval,” (rather ironic) so I’m posting this as a reply to you tonyE. This is the video I’m talking about in the post below.
This is not a Monty Python skit… – CITIZEN FREE PRESS
Thanks for this, Sundance and all. Just FYI, I sent to a group of friends a video from Germany that showed some protestors in the street (I believe it was from last weekend) and a black-clad “officer” was walking between the protestors with what looked like a plastic pipe. Someone had put the video to Star Wars music (the ominous music played when they showed the bad guys in their uniforms — dun dun dun – dun da dun – dun da dun) – it was perfect as the “officer” put his pipe between an older woman (they always pick on women) and the person in front of her and she meekly stepped back. If I can find again, I’ll post it.
Anyway, one of the friends I sent it to said she found it in her “junk” folder. She said, “Someone is trying to censor you!” All I can say is thank you, Sundance, for all you do to fight this BS. Freedom of Speech is very threatening to those who want to control everything, and they have no sense of humor!
We luvs ya – thanks a million for all you do!
Thanks.. is that picture real? I’ve got three grandsons under 4, two wear cowboy boots and tend to shed clothes.
I re-read my comment three times…. I thought I may have posted something inappropriate….whew
