While trying to reply to a thread, I received this notification:
This message has been submitted successfully, but it will need to be approved by a moderator before it is publicly viewable. You will be notified when your post has been approved.
Is there an explanation as to why this is happening?
Sorry, I didn't know where else to ask this question.

It was probably in Discovering Theravada section where posts need to be approved to keep it strictly relevant to the topic.
