Moderator approval for a basic post response to another members post?

I just posted a very basic, non insulting, non controversial response to another member’s post. It was flagged as “ waiting for moderator approval before it’s seen by anyone? What on earth is this about? No mention of dust collectors, no claiming any brand is inferior, what’s the deal??
I had similar before, twice actually, and it was a random (and benign) word that tripped the algorithm. Mods squared it away in short order.

Similar experience here….BUT, I figured it was political related because a previous poster had insinuated a current hotly debated political slant, and I totally agree with keeping politics off the forum.

@rangur1
Have you considered contacting the moderator directly?
The privacy a PM offers could have better chance of a reply than open forum

just my too thought

Generally, AGN won't address specific trigger words. The whole "don't talk about fight club..." There is a man's performance enhancement prescription brand that is contained in one of the words in your post. Part of words get caught in the filter, ipso Facto, some innocent posts are delayed for a short time.

It is a very small price to pay to keep the spammers off AGN. When was the last time you saw any of those posts?

I get that a lot, like almost daily, got one just a hour or so ago.

I think it might be related to my strong OT force, then again i have gotten that too on very relevant posts but then long posts and it seem like there is a consensus that 5 lines of text is enough to solve / explain any problem.

Other forum i am on have a word filter, in the way that the first part in the name of the place where pilots operate a plane from, well as it is the same as a name for the male genitalia that part will get changed to ....pit, but that happen automatic on posting no need to involve a admin in such minor things.
Mind you that is a Canadian run forum.

I do think some people better not walk past a Danish kindergarten or school during recess, CUZ even if they are English speakers they might hear words too sensitive to their ears.

The English F word and S word ASO, they are actually in the Danish dictionary now, CUZ they are so prevalent here, and we thank our former American friends for this addition to out language, just like we gave them knife - window - egg and other words when we was a deciding factor in that was at the time the world as we knew it.
