I just posted on the serious discussion thread and the forum notified me that I now had 1 post pending for approval. And sure enough, a few seconds later, I got this notification
(thanks for the quick work, mods)
I’ve never seen that before. Did something I do trigger it? Am I in the mod-preview doghouse for doing something wrong?
There’s a list of words which require moderator approval before posting. The words are basically ones which are frequently used in accusations or which create disharmony amongst forum users
Worth noting that this is a DIFFERENT list to the Auto-censor list. Censored words are simply “asterisked” out. The approval word list requires moderator approval before posting the topic or comment
I haven’t historically seen it shared about by any of the other mods. As the newest to the team I don’t think I’m the most qualified to answer that
Maybe one of the others can chime in.
Edit: I would think the answer tho is no; cause knowing the list will just have the words “worked around”… either by using synonyms or other filter dodging techniques.
Funny thing is that actual “naughty” words get automatically censored. The words that trigger the mod notification are words that are mostly innocent alone - but are not permitted here on the forum because they may be used to “name and shame”.
