"Pending approval"

    This is an anti-spam measure primarily for new accounts (I assume the post is https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/21088319918743-How-to-Set-up-Email-Notifications-when-an-account-logs-in-to-cPanel  which I responded to yesterday). If a post is by a new account (which that one was) or (I'm guessing here) has certain keywords, it is held for approval by a member of cPanel staff (I say a member of staff, it's probably cPRex ;) ) and won't appear for other users until it has been approved.

    Just a small heads-up it got approved :)

    And yeah it is a bit weird implementation. Limiting or greylisting new accounts is nothing new as tactic but limiting regular older accounts reacting on such posts is strange to say the least.

    Mostly because I don't work on weekends, and the spam filter in the new system isn't very well trained yet.

    Yeah well, I've been a member here for years and posted a response to a thread a short time ago and says "Pending Approval" ... I also received an email from webpros wanting me to sign up.

    Only difference is I accessed the forums from my Mac and not PC.

    bloatedstoat - it doesn't matter where you access from - it matters what the system THINKS is spam.  Unfortunately there's no allow list for cool kids.
