    Could somebody explain to me what this newest addition is? I was replying to a thread, a relatively normal answer given the state of things, yet it has to await moderator approval???

    Was this automatically detected in some way? Was the name of the company a trigger word?

    Hilarious that this has become a priority, but addressing issues is still nowhere to be found...

    You have been a naughty boy and will get nothing for Christmas. Or it’s because you have quoted the whole post that has lots of links in it and it’s caught in a spam filter.

    Don't worry, you're not alone. Several of us " vets" have reported waiting for approval of innocent posts from time to time. No one really knows why it happens. You can feel special.

    There's an automated trigger for forum posts (enabled a little before my time, so not sure what exactly triggers it). Obviously there's nothing wrong there, so we'll approve it.

    I must say that this has happened to me just now (totally baffled as what triggered it, as the post is kinda neutral). I must however say, that in light of recent forum changes and mentions of how thin is the community team spread at the moment, it is ridiculous that they need approve individual posts.

    Hey blizbeast pl,

    I just approved your post, not entirely sure why it was held back. The automod can sometimes work in mysterious ways.
    As a note, posts of long-term forum members are rarely held back. It's main purpose is to hold messages from new members, which helps us catch spam bots, which still appear on a regular basis.
    But, as in your case, it sometimes gives us a false negative and adds harmless messages like yours to our moderation queue.

    All the best,
    Jan
