    Post need approval by a moderator...

    Hello,

    Today I tried to post and after hitting 'Submit' it told me my post would have to be approved by a moderator before appearing in the thread. What gives? I posted again in the same thread with no problems.

    This is the second time it has happened to me. The first time was in a thread talking about other message boards and that thread came to be deleted (understandably) so I never got to see if my post actually made it or not.

    It's a hiccup.

    Some others were noting the same thing, some weeks ago, but it's not something being intentionally implemented.

    If it happens again, capture the screen-shot and let us know about it.

    If I recall correctly, it was people who were posting a list of email addresses (a lot of them) for people to send letters to.

    It may be forum software taking a double check. I know the forum software I used to use did that to keep spammers at bay.

    I get that message whenever I post a pic. I have to write a message first, then edit in my pic. A little annoying but at least it's not just me.

    Okay thanks. I had a feeling it was some kind of censorship and that if I went around it and posted my message anyways that I would be in some kInd of violation. I'll screenshot it next time.

    It happened again, in the same thread, go figure. I tried to post, and it took me to this screen. It redirected before I could get a screenshot, so I tried to post again in the same thread, and got a screenshot as requested:

    I'm usually content to wait these things out but it keeps happening over and over.

    Might it be associated with posts including email addresses? Think I may see a pattern, but may also be coincidence.

    It has to do with an anti-spam filter in the site software. I am manually approving them.

    I don't know what trips it, but it is probably some sort of character count when a link, or multiple links, are detected.

    However, sometimes a link is not present, but the IP address from which a person is posting must be on some sort of "no fly" list.
