I have been running my site for over a year now and this just started happening lately. We have many staged users as the site mostly functions as a help desk / ticket hub. Within the last week or so tickets with embedded media (screenshots) have been stuck in the approval queue. When I checked th…

I tested this on a current self-hosted instance. Staged users are not members of trust_level_0, so having trust_level_0 in skip review media groups does not exempt them. However, adding logged_in_users to skip review media groups does. [image] I tested this both directly against NewPostManager …

It seems to have fixed my issue. I’ve not gotten any notifications since I added that group. Thanks!
