Bug or new feature? ;-)

As far as I can remember, I’ve never come across this in the past twelve years. 😉

@Mikel I can't remember the exact message that I was shown but after editing a post too quickly or too many times consecutively I was blocked from making changes or posting anything IIRC. I don't know how related that may be to your case but if you posted/edited things quickly it might be flagging the post as a security method to prevent malicious behavior.

Best guess. May or may not be relevant. 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, for your experience on this, @FireWire! In fact I edited the post right after posting, but this is not unusual and I never faced this “hidden, must be approved” message before.

A possible reason might be that the post contains an example output with a few fake mail addresses in it. This is the only one that would make sense to me. 🧐

I think @Pete may have run updates on the forum software. If that is the case, it may be related.

I can't find this topic from your screenshot anywhere Mikel - can you send me a link?

I think the upgrades did change some moderation features but shouldn't have implemented any new settings (I hope!).

Hi, Pete, I managed to post it without the Code example, so the version in question got deleted afterwards. To reproduce it try to post something like this sync report as code:

That caused the described behavior.
