For a couple weeks I've been getting this:
Your comment has been queued for moderation by site administrators and will be published after approval.
when I post on news articles on the main site. What's up?
 
Is it for every single post?

I would assume AC has some type of software that has key word triggers, and, you are hitting those frequently.
 
Yes every single post, and I don't normally post spammy stuff so I'm not sure what key-words I might be triggering.
 
Hmm, well, if it's every post, then, I'm not really sure. That's all I could think of. Hopefully someone else will come along and have some idea.
 
Maybe they do that with every post now to prevent spam, trolling, etc

Not sure if what is happening to me is related but I can log into the forums but I can't log on the homepage to comment on articles.
 
I've been getting blocked as well, the latest being now in this thread: Galaxy S2 coming fashionably late to Virgin Mobile | Android Central

My comment was this: "Is there any way to configure/flash/voodoo/transfer a Sprint GS2 for use with Virgin Mobile? I'm getting a Nexus 4 and my g/f has a crappy little Optimus V phone and it'd be great to give her my old GS2 to use with her account. Since it's still Sprint's network, you'd think it'd be nothing to do, but I'm sure there's some device ID hoodoo that would prevent the obvious from occurring."

I've tried logging out and back in, but something is blocking me on article comments.

For some reason, I was able to post on my work computer this morning; the trouble I was having was at home. Perhaps I need to clear cookies.
 
I'm still unable to post on site posts from home. Cleaned all AC cookies from Firefox 16 and tried IE9 and both do the same thing: You submit the post and it takes a longer-than-usual period of time and then says it's been queued for moderation. Is there something on my account that has me flagged only there?
 
This is still happening? I posted from work earlier today, but now at home my comments require moderation. I'm not under any conduct strikes that I'm aware of, so what's the deal? Is my IP being flagged and, if so, why?
 
Dirk,

We may need to adjust the threshold on the comment spam service we're using. Shoot me an email at james AT mobilenations.com and we'll work this out with the tech team.
