Hi as an admin I posted a new topic and I see (for the first time) the banner “needs approval” on my post, when I approved it, this banner remains. Why do I need approval as an admin and how to get rid of that “needs approval” banner? Thanks.

Can you post a screen shot? I’m having trouble understanding the circumstances.
That looks like it may be a tag and isn’t out of the box functionality, as far as I’m aware. Do you have some kind of autotagging or moderation plugin running?
Isn’t it Discourse Category Experts? 
Can you look at the browser’s console (right-click on the page → inspect → Console tab) to see if any relevant errors are happening?
Yes good idea, it’s that, I’ll have a look at my plugin settings.
