What does it mean when your comment has to be "approved" to post in a topic?

Comments

  • It means that somehow the approving system has been triggered because you edited too much, used some word or sth like that.

    It means that a mod has to read through that and approve it.
    If you are lucky they will look at it in a week or sth, if you are unlucky the comment is lost in space....

    That weird considering this topic was one of the things waiting to be approved... Idk what needed to be approved here ๐Ÿ˜‚ but thanks!
  • Comment approval is based on a spam filter.

    Basically there's a hidden filter that flags posts that it thinks are spam (either duplicate posts, excessively long posts, posts containing certain keywords, etc.). If it thinks your post is spam, it will take it and put it into a spam queue. At some point a moderator will come back and verify your post- or reject it if it is spam.

    So the short version: It's just the spam filter falsely flagging your post. As long as you aren't spamming, it'll show up as soon as a mod can check the queue.

    Got it. Thank you.
