Firstly, questions don’t get published until the first expert answers it. So you may just be waiting for an answer.
We do however also have a strict moderation policy. The experts are giving up their voluntarily and we have promised to keep the number of questions manageable.
If you ask a question that has already been asked it won’t be put up. You’ll be invited to leave a comment. We understand that you might have a slightly different nuance or that you feel the original question was answered in a different way to what you want. If so, then please do leave a comment on that page. The experts will be notified of all comments looking for their input.
If you’ve asked a question that we think is off-topic then we won’t publish it. This Zone is just for questions about GM Food.
If you’ve asked a question in an aggressive manner, if you’ve verbally attacked one of the experts, if we feel that you’re trolling, then your questions won’t be published.
The same goes for comments. They may just be in the queue. Our moderators need to sleep and play. We’ll try to moderate comments within the hour during normal office hours and within 3 hours outside office hours (expect during the UK night).
We expect some people are going to disagree with our decisions. That’s OK and you’re welcome to write about your disagreements on your own site, but this is our site and the final decision rests with us.
