I am suddenly on post approval, does anyone know how that happened? I never did anything...(at least I don't think).
Im not mad at the mods or anything, just wondering why it happened.

Apparantly you posted a less than helpful response to a question, 3 days noobslap. The place is crawling with mods right now, so your posts should get approved quickly at least.

Less than helpful can mean anything (that isn't helpful).

So lets not jump to conclusions.

I know exactly what I did now. In a thread in dbpro, I was in a bad mood, so I just told the person to "search for it." which you aren't supposed to do.
it's my fault.

Your thread's examples are legitimate mod actions, and so was this. Care to explain what you mean?

To clarify for Mad Nightmare, "search it" is often an annoying comment that can be quite viral on some forums and is quite unhelpful and is often taken as a patronising turn of phrase...especially if you've done a search and found nothing. All that might not be intentional, but that's how it is sometimes reflected. Post approval is perhaps fair, just so mods can keep an eye to make sure the person isn't a spammer, as well as a means of demonstrating that negative behaviour isn't tolerated.

As proven by thenerd himself, he's asked, he's found out and he knows why and understands why he shouldn't have made the comment, so the system works.
