Hi everyone,
I’ve recently noticed that multiple Trust Level 2 users had their posts caught in the review queue. The reason given is “approve_unless_allowed.”
Here’s what I’ve checked so far:
• The users are TL2, so they should normally be able to post freely.
• There are no watched words in their posts.
• No links or anything that should trigger moderation.
• Akismet does not seem to be involved.
• The posts were made in categories that do not require manual approval.
• The site setting “approve_unless_allowed” is enabled, but I’m not sure why it’s affecting TL2 users.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? What determines whether a user is considered “allowed” under this setting?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
