Post moderation in the community
Summary: stubenkram wonders if they are under special observation due to their posts requiring approval. They note a delay in post visibility despite posting in the morning, while a text response from the previous day was approved. They question if moderation applies to all members and categories. They humorously suggest that the moderator might still be having coffee. They later speculate that an AI might be responsible for the delays, possibly affected by post length or system overload, causing approval times to vary.
Hello everyone!
Am I currently under "special monitoring" 😉 or, since yesterday, does post moderation affect all members and all posts/replies, including those without image material?
Yesterday I wrote a text post as a reply in a topic and soon after received the notice that my post had been approved.
This morning at 6:41 a.m. I wrote another reply in this topic, which still hasn’t been approved yet. So at the moment it’s only readable by me, and that’s also why the topic still isn’t at the top, because the last post written (and presumably by now approved) by the topic starter with an image dates from yesterday evening. It was written yesterday at 11:10 p.m. I was still online at night, but I could only read this post this morning.
Does this post moderation only apply to certain categories where people write, or does it apply to the entire forum?

OP1 month agoAha. At first this topic was here - without approval. Then I edited the top part again. For a second I saw the notice here that approval is still pending. But this is not shown in my profile.
There it still looks like it did before:

OP1 month agoGood. The response above now has to be approved again because it contains a screenshot.
My text post in the coins topic, which I wrote this morning at 6:41 a.m., still hasn’t been approved yet — about two and a half hours later. Then it’s probably being unlocked manually, and @mod-pedram is still having coffee. 😉

Due to post moderation, it takes very different amounts of time before a post with an image is approved. That’s why you couldn’t see anything here yet:

If that’s the AI that releases posts with or without images, then it’s probably overloaded at times. Or it’s due to the text length. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours before a post is visible to everyone. The person who wrote the post sees it immediately. That can be pretty confusing at times.
