AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a user's confusion regarding their post being in moderation, which they initially interpreted as a ban. It was clarified that being in moderation means the post is under review and not necessarily indicative of a ban. The moderators noted that lengthy posts resembling essays or containing multiple questions can lead to moderation issues. The user expressed frustration about needing to provide detailed explanations for complex topics like the Doppler effect to facilitate accurate feedback. Ultimately, the thread highlighted the importance of clarity and brevity in forum contributions while addressing the challenges of discussing intricate scientific concepts.

Greetings!

I have created topic to help myself with understanding of Doppler's effect in Classical Mechanics — Help with understanding the Doppler effect, and after some users provide me with interesting information and showed me my primitive mistake, I have rework my understanding of Doppler's effect on the page, and place my calculation for the open discussion to check if I not mistake again in something, but the point is on top message I have found this: "This message is awaiting moderator approval, and is invisible to normal visitors.", and de-facto it is a ban, because I cannot post this message.

What moderator and for what reason banned me? Thanx for the answers.

If you are banned, you'll know it - you will receive a message telling you so (and if you were banned, you wouldn't have been able to start this thread).

A post in moderation is just temporarily hidden from non-mentors while we consider what to do with it - in this case, trying to check the accuracy of the post.
 
You are not banned, so your question cannot be answered.

Your post is "in moderation" which is equivalent to "under consideration". It is on hold, and at the moment neither released nor deleted. I don't know and do not want to know the specifica with this special post, but a few remarks came to my mind as I saw it.
  1. We have generally problems with posts that more more an essay or blog entry than a contribution to a discussion.
  2. Posts which contain more than one question, misunderstanding or false statements are also problematic, as they should be split into several threads.
  3. This was my comment as I just saw (without reading it) your post:
    "The entire post is longer than it would take me to explain the Doppler-effect in the first place!"
Hence, be patient until we decided what to do with your essay and confusing images.

In this case must be logical connection: ##\large \text{the reason} \longrightarrow \text{an action} ##, and will be very good to say something about the reason to person the post of which you are banned, this will greatly help to check it's accuracy.

1) And why over the text field on your forum is a notion: "Please include as much detail and support material as possible." — or this is miss guiding or a joke, or I something wrong understand?
I can try to make short posts, but in therms of such models as Doppler's effect it will be not a very wise idea, because it's will be for others hard to find my mistakes, and especially it will be hard to find it for myself. A very good example is an answer of one of the user of this forum about that in Doppler effect the wavelength is changing, which is in general totally false. If I not describe in detail and no support with mathematics my guesses, how the heck the others users can check it? :rolleyes:

2) For an example the Doppler's effect contain the Classical Mechanics mechanism under it'self, so to understand it's question we need to know lot of other question, the "physicsforums.com" is by the name means that this questions must be familiar there. It's not a question like a: "The Quantum Field Theory foundations?", which is a very vast and no possible to answer it with a short posts, there need a large books.

3) Are you sure that you can explain Doppler's effect in short terms on level which user with casual education, long-time forgotten as in my case, 😪 can understand it? For an example: how changing the wave-vector ##\large \vec{k} ## during Galilean transformation? Physical meaning of inertial frame in this case? What effects can appear with such habits of wave-vector? How changing the phase velocity, for an example in one-dimensional case? Where assymetry in formula for Doppler's shift of frequencies takes it's roots and what a physical meaning of that? Etc, etc...
 
The post in question has been deleted, so this thread is no longer relevant.
 
I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
This came up in my job today (UXP). Never thought to raise it here on PF till now. Hyperlinks really should be underlined at all times. PF only underlines them when they are rolled over. Colour alone (especially dark blue/purple) makes it difficult to spot a hyperlink in a large block of text (or even a small one). Not everyone can see perfectly. Even if they don't suffer from colour deficiency, not everyone has the visual acuity to distinguish two very close shades of text. Hover actions...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
