"Your comment will appear after it is approved" -- What ?

What is this exactly ?? Is this anti-spamming ? Is this to ensure the forums is free of penls joke ? I usually get this posting in the Monthly Challenges thread. And, so far none of them gets approved and get posted.... I have to post it again later anyhow...
What ? Why ? How ?
Thanks.

When we switched to the new forum software, all members were set to the status "Unverified", automatically.
Our anti-spam plugin flags any potential spam, and gives the moderators a list of the posts it finds.
About once a day, we work through this list, using our human brains to mark which posts are true spam, vs. which are just false positives.
When we clear the false positives, that changes those members' status to "Verified." The spam filter ignores all "Verified" members, so once you're approved you won't be hit again.
Unfortunately we currently have no other way to set all our long-time members as Verified.
We're talking with the forum software guys about a better way to handle this. But for now, this is the reality we have to put up with.
Only thing we can do is ask for your patience. Don't make multiple posts, they'll just keep getting pulled. Your blocked post will be appoved, in one day or less.
If you don't see movement in a reasonable amount of time, feel free to contact one of us.
All the people in this thread have now been Verified. If you still see any problems, definitely contact one of us and we'll help you get it sorted out.
edit: I didn't
Oh well. Thanks for the explanation of the system though.

Edit: Guess I'm clear
Anyway, I posted a thread in technical talk about ~20h ago but still hasn't appeared. I got the pending message as well. Any chance you can approve me? Thanks.

Shouldn't there be a thread for the admins to re verify long time members?
Oh, the list of moderators is also now in the Info sticky at the top of General Discussion, hopefully to make it easier to find.
I'm writing up a bug report, so I need your technical info. Browser version, OS, what options you have enabled in your profile, screenshots of error messages if any, etc. Thank you.
It's weird and annoying since it works fine on one sub forum and not on another. (technical doesn't always work for example, 3d art and showcase - no problem)
I know this is not your fault and it's how the system works, but I'd still like to see it resolved.
I just put 20 minutes into a post and because I linked a reference from google, it has now dissapeared as well
Is it rejected (and why, if I may ask), or is this normal waiting time?
Edit: OK, after some searching, I found it in another section - it seems that it was approved & moved!?
To the 2nd point, your Crowfall thread reads like it was written by someone who worked on the project. It makes more sense to put a post like this in in the 3D Showcase section.
Hard to figure out if you're connected or not as there's no personal website in your profile. But the sheer number of links in your post helps make it seem so. You're also new here, so it looks a bit spammy tbh.
Speaking of my connections with the game, I'd say that - just for example - my activity on Camelot Unchained reddit (Crowfall's "bitter rival"), under the same nick as here, is quite unusual for someone from the other team
And links, images - that's how I roll. In fact I edited out a lot, making it quite short in order to avoid unpleasant reactions of this kind.
Another way to throw away any suspicion (thou I believe that reddit should be more than enough) - there is that thing, called Camelot Unchained wiki. I believe that I wrote MORE THAN 50% OF IT singlehandedly. There are thousands of pages in it, my nick is ALSO the same - I'm JamesGoblin anywhere online - and there are writing metrics clearly showing who wrote what and how much.
We are speaking of different game than the one about which I wrote here (my thread here was about Crowfall), in case you lost track. That's all I wanted to clarify, I don't plan to write appeals or report anybody or demand that thread to be moved here or there, it's all cool the way it is.
What do you mean by "my sent message appears in replay form again and again."? Could you please give me some more details?
I'm already posted this message (for three times. I'm sorry). And it still appears in replay form. Sorry, but I do not know how to explain it in another way.
