Hello! I'm one of those who have more than 10 qpproved posts but my posts are still held for moderation. I'm quite old here, and I don't know why it's still happening that way. I would appreciate it if you help be resolve it. Thank you.Scott wrote: ↑27 Jan 2023, 18:22 I have heard some reports from members with more than 10 posts who are having their posts held for moderation.

That will serve two purposes. Not only will it help alert me to the issue you think you are having, but it will let me see a test case to debug it. In other words, I will be able to see your reply to this post in the moderation queue. Then I can debug why it was put there.

Have you guys figured out what the bug is that's keeping people in the newly registered group yet?

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to figure this out. I'm hoping Scott will keep us posted when he figures out what the issue is.
Thanks.

Hi,Tameka P wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 00:16 I know that: "While you are still a new member, the anti-spam filter may automatically flag your post to be held for moderation." But I have been registered for a month. And all my posts are still being held for moderation. None were approved. I do not know how long posts are usually held. I scoured the site. However, I did not find any information on an approximate timeframe.
Thank you for reaching out. I think this may be because your approved posts are less than 10. Please be patient as moderators work on approving your posts. I'm sorry for any inconveniences caused.
Thank you.

Well noted. Thanks for your response. I was only checking if there was a timeframe (given that I have over 20 posts). But I will be more patient.Melissa Jane wrote: ↑09 Feb 2023, 01:06Hi,Tameka P wrote: ↑07 Feb 2023, 00:16 I know that: "While you are still a new member, the anti-spam filter may automatically flag your post to be held for moderation."

Thank you for reaching out. This was happening because you were still in the newly registered users usergroup. I've just now removed you from that usergroup. If you need assistance with anything else, please let me know.
Thank you.
