I just experienced this on [https://discuss.python.org/](https://discuss.python.org/) again. As an end user it felt really crummy. 😭

1. I can not tell in which topics I have pending approval posts
2. I can not edit my pending approval posts
3. I can not tell when my thing is going to be approved

What I would like:

1. On topics, simply display my **unapproved** post as the **last** post in the stream with special formatting saying it is pending approval. It will always be last no matter what. This is editable by me.

2. When I post instead of “Please be patient”, “It usually takes about 4 hours for posts to be approved”, we can recalculate weekly.

3. Extra super bonus points stretch goal, allow 2 TL3s to approve one of these guys so it happens faster

@eviltrout maybe we can assign this out once your review queue is shipped? It would be a nice little first project for someone who is not yet familiar with the review queue.
