What's up with the "awaiting approval" in the great finds section?
« on: Sat, 28 December 2013, 15:46:00 »
This is new to me.  Have I not earned some repute for being a non-spammer at this point?  ;P  SHEESH. 


What's to approve - its just a good sale price on a psu (and a ducky KB, a happy coincidence which I found on the same site while grabbing the link for the psu)

By the time someone gets around to approving it, they'll be out of stock!   

Suffice it to say, I don't get it.

i didn't know there's an awaiting approval thing..

It must be cuz you tagged something in the post which flipped the trigger for spam detection.

Sometimes threads get flagged by an auto-spam detection when there are certain "flagged" words in the URL.

It would be something to do with the links, either too many or one which is suspicious.  I don't know exactly how it works, maybe the admins have to approve links which work automatically,  such as ebay etc.

unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

Looks like it was approved earlier.  It is indeed external links that can trigger a filter, even if the links appear benign.

We can see threads / posts that need approval--they are linked in a special section.
