Unapproved post - needs approval from a mod because it might be spam?

[Yota Up]

Really? I responded to a post and posted. Post went up. I then saw I left out a word or two and wanted to clean it up. So I edited the post and when I clicked save it showed up all green and said it's unapproved because it might be spam.

Why would the first post be allowed and then the edit is the thing that gets flagged? Makes no sense because if someone is spamming then the spam would be in the first post wouldn't it?

That's just what they would be expecting! you have to be crafty

Actually a lot of the spammer bots post replies and then edit them immediately as it would fool some of the older antispam measures.

Maybe you just suck at posting?

Or maybe it was because you posted it twice, aka, spam.

Pretty sure this post is spam. Reported

I posted the second one because I thought it would go through since the first did not. I didn't know if it was tied into editing only, so assumed to just post again as a fresh post.
I'll delete the duplicate. Thanks.

And yes, maybe I suck at posting because I have to edit and clean them up a lot. It's like I'm getting dumber day by day and tend to leave words out because I type too fast or something.

Either way, can the mods just go ahead and flag me as a non-spammer and just preapprove all my posts going forward?

it definitely has something to do with editing. I've had it happen a few times to me, but the post usually goes through shortly after.

I pm'd Austin cause that happened to me last week , he didn't respond but it only happened one time.

I believe there are glitches in this vB version, and this is likely one of them. Hang tight, the next release should fix a lot of the small issues users are experiencing.

Austin is aware of this & has been working on it.

Did you post some sort of link or photo with a URL? That's been triggering it.

There are various settings & features in the software that need to be ironed out (baby steps).

If it happens to anyone else, simply post up in the Help channel (forum) or PM Austin.

happened to me in the mci bus thread in tow rigs.

I think I was posting a link.

It happened to me when I copy pasted a wiki article with a bunch on links in it, then speed edited it (copy to and from text editor) it. Then it was flagged for spam.
So I deleted it and reposted without the links again and that one came through.

For me it was just text , tried to respond to a eviltwat post and no edit just a normal text response.

Makes sense. Yesterday the time of last post was messed up. Usually it's most recent activity up top, but all of a sudden I was seeing 2hrs ago, followed by 20 min ago, followed by 1hr ago, etc.

Yes. That's an issue with this release and Austin is working on getting help with a fix.

Working on it, I've had to approve 10 or so posts today.

Had it happen to me, I’ve decided to just keep my mouth shut lest VS roll in here with their “updated software.”
