Approval of posts

Anyone else getting this approval needed message?



has there been a shadowban on my account because I dared question Dev actions, or is there some stealthy anti bot checking going on, or just more incompetence from what we have become to expect as the norm?

No your account isn't shadowbanned

There is a spam filter on the forums to prevent spambots from being rampant and your post got caught in the spam queue

Sir, the possibility of being caught in a bot spam are approximately Three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one.

I thought that might be the case, just the first time i've seen it, thanks Ultra

It's actually a lot higher than that. I did find a comment of yours in the spam queue that was marked as reported by the system. I've restored it.

Im interested on what flagged it, but ild guess knowing the cause defeats the whole idea.

Editing a post too quickly or too frequently definitely does, as does a post with just a link in it, but I've also had other first time posts flagged for no apparent reason.

What Tvf said. It happens pretty often too especially with editing right after the post. You can ask a mod to bring it back if it wasn't a post you can easily write again.
