This is likely PMs automatic forum system settings. They might have updated something in the back end that's causing this because of all the recent spam.
Last time they did this was back in January or February ( I forget maybe March or April) and lots of people were affected including myself and other regular posters.
At that time for some regular posters. If they submitted a post then went right back to do one or two quick edits the post disappeared for moderator review.
For newer members it trigger alot of different things. Like same post on multiple threads under a certain time limit, etc.
PM at that time eventually fixed the issue. Not sure if they go to each person's username and edit something for the spam filter or if it's categories. They did something to my account as well as a few others so our posts would stop disappearing.
Sounds like they have to tweak it again. I've noticed newer members getting blocked again for different reasons.
One I noticed was copy and paste standard replies. Like how most just copy and paste their canned response to contact moderators. Do that under X amount of seconds on a few posts eventually the spam filter will activate and throw you in the moderator review bin lol.
So for time being maybe just stop using canned responses and write them out differently and you should be able to bypass the spam filter.
It clearly started happening more when the spam private messages started. So that's an indication that it's the community forums automatic spam filter settings that will need a bit of a tweaking.
Happy Posting 😁
