Posts aren't actively moderated. The site has spam filtering which isn't working effectively at this time for reasons unknown, the site owner is aware and was trying to get the problem resolved.
The site also has a swear filter which should remove posts that are found to have unacceptable terms.
There is a wide variety of information on this site that has not been updated since the 700MHz Clearance as the site owner has not had the time to deal with all of it. There's 1100+ transmitters in the UK and some of the information has to be updated manually as it's derived from documents such as pdfs that don't make themselves readily interpreted by automated software. He's been made aware of some of it that really could do with correction asap but he has to make time.
Some of the data is provided by automated scanning of data provided by DUK, but when they change the format of the information, it doesn't always get updated/presented on this site correctly.
The other issue is that those documents are not always error free. Even some of the top level documents such as one of OFCOM's has some errors, and even though OFCOM have been made aware, they haven't been updated. Such data has to be cross-checked with some of the documents issued by DUK (now calling themselves EveryoneTV) or Arqiva. Most of those are accurate.
It is those latter sources which engineers posting here (at least two of us) have used to provide you with the correct information.
One source you can go and check for yourself if you are not prepared to accept what we are telling you is Freeview's Detailed Transmitter Information for Industry professionals where the data on those pages comes from DUK.
