    Granted this is probably guesswork unless someone has access to something on the site that tracks this for us or keeps an OCD record.

      Ming once told me that was a bug and he didn't know what caused it

        That is correct... nobody has been able to figure it out.
        But it does seem to focus on "editing" and multiple links in the same post.
        Most of the posts that need "approval" include many external links.

            Sometimes very frequently. Then not at all for a long time.

            As mentioned, editing seems to be a factor.

              The times I got it it did involve editing.

                  For the first time ever, I just noticed that one of my poasts has a tag "Unapproved".

                  I quoted Geranimo and wrote a few sentences

                    I've found that if I post, then reread it and make a quick correction, a message may appear about 'spam' and requiring moderator approval for the post.
                    There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

                        I had that too a couple times. IMO it's unfair to spam that it has to wait.

                          Solver has looked into it and made a change... Hopefully it will fix the problem.
                          Please report in the Moderator Input thread if it happens again so we can track if it's getting better or not

                            Thanks - it may be just luck, but when I edit and put something into the "reason for edit" field posts seem to get thru usually.

                              Obviously, the software gods do not want people quoting Geranimo. Maybe he dares to speak heresy (or is that truth)?
