Why did the thread I post say, 'Thread Status: Awaiting moderation before being displayed publicly.'

Is this something new? I've never seen that before and I've been visiting Anandtech on and off since the late 90's.

I did a search and I couldn't find a thread on this subject.

I approved your post. This has happened a few times in the last 2-3 days.
Not sure why.

You post, however may look a little spammy to the software, having a youtube and an amazon link.
It's kind of how the spammers post their threads.

Perhaps the forum software has been tightened up a liitle to look for these type of posts
Maybe the post without the links may have gone through.

Regardless, I am pointing this out to the Community Manager to have a look at it.
