    It's because it's getting approved, I don't know the whole process but I believe it's either randomly chosen for the approval process or key words trigger the process.

    It's really annoying.

    If it's actually random, that's infuriating.

    I think it's more likely that the system will hold posts for approval if they use certain words or phrases. Frustratingly this can happen regardless of context.

    I think Game Freak was a trigger word for a while, because it contains "freak".

    probably waiting for approval they will most likely get approved eventually after a few hours except the few times when they actually don't

    Oh yeah I think you can't also edit approved messages, I made a typo in one and when I edit it it doesn't work. Also one of my messages I sent here is in the void.

    yeah bro this happens to me multiple times! I wrote nothing wrong and it says needs approval no clue why

    they should add a personal area with the pending approvals so we know what's popping

    I have had messages in the approval void, most make it out. It seems youtube urls don't make it out.
