Unknown notification

I recently got a notification that I have never seen before. I made a reply to a post and later received a notification that my post was approved. I had never seen one like that before.

I clicked on it and it took me to my post, which looked like a normal post one would make. I also noticed it never had the heart icon at bottom right like pretty much all posts I had seen before had so you

could like, dislike, etc.

Was wondering if someone could tell me what it meant.

The site was recently attacked via a bunch of false new accounts and spam posts, might be related to that

Am wondering if it has to do with my account as I notice that my post above also doesn't have the little heart icon at bottom right for adding the emotes.

Unless it is something new added as I can see it in my previous posts.

 

EDIT: It could be as I notice that I don't see it but I do see a number when someone does leave an emote but I still don't see the heart so am thinking it is a new addition to the forum.

I just don't understand the approval part as I am obviously not a new account and nothing in my post points towards spam.

Maybe one of the mods will respond with an answer if they see this.

I see the heart icon. Try a different browser and see if shows up. If so, maybe your browser needs a reset.

I see it in my earlier posts but just don't see it in my last few posts.

I just posted a comment and the post is marked red and says "hidden," so maybe it's waiting for approval?

We can't tell you what measures we take, but if your posts get hidden and later shown you can be sure you were just false positives.
