Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum.
So I’ve posted a comment in a thread in the development subforum (a very recent open discussion from another user) and I’ve noticed my post was unapproved.
So I’m thinking “makes sense, if they’re manually handling spam” and waited half an hour to see how it turns out.
To my great surprise, I can no longer see my post even though it says that “You have 1 post(s) in this topic.” when I hover the mouse over the topic icon on the topic list of that subforum.
Is my post still pending approval? Was it unapproved? Why can’t I see it on the <Username> -> Profile ->About -> Find all posts?
And finally, if it was unapproved, whom can I contact to understand why?
It’s not an ideal system, but changes to the forum software here take a long time.
It was still pending approval - posts generally take up to 24 hours to be approved, usually less. Once you’ve had a couple of posts go through the system you won’t need to wait for approval again.
Thanks for confirming it. I wish it was more apparent because from a UX standpoint it seemed as if (even this topic) wasn’t accepted by the system, and made it seem like I wasn’t registered properly with the forum.
Just on a side note, moderators here will not un-approve topics or censor content unless directed to by Epic Games. We will lock threads and issues warnings for various infractions, but will never un-approve topics.
The closest we will get to is to remove posts or threads that infringe on the forums rules and regulations and any spam we encounter.
