Why is it that any question I ask as a new topic has to be reviewed by a moderator? Wasn’t like that before.

It’s something they probably need to tweak in the newish AI system moderator. You may be better off DMing a moderator, there isn’t much we in the public can do.

I was hoping a moderator would have read my post and corrected or replied to it…wishful thinking.

Maybe one will see it, but not lkkely one will put down their beer and look at the website over their weekend. 

During the week, and their office hours,  well I'll give you a strong maybe.

Hi ​@Dogdad 

It depends on what is in the post. If you could please provide a link to the post you are talking about, maybe we can identify why you saw that message.

Assuming it’s this thread you are talking about, my guess would be it was due to all the numbers in it, as the filters can get a bit trigger-happy trying to prevent phone numbers from scammers being posted.

I hope this helps.

@Corry P ..there aren’t any numbers in the post above. It’s just a question. A yellow block always appears after I hit submit in my post saying a moderator will review it first.

Did you ever say anything less than complimentary about AI online? It seems to not like you.

I get that all the time. I keep hitting refresh until my reply appears. Usually doesn’t take long.

Hi ​@Dogdad 

“17.2.6” looks a bit like numbers to me.

It’s also possible that every post results in that message (the AI does check all posts) being displayed and the post goes through a moment later, as ​@kdowling mentions above. It doesn’t moderate me, so I don’t see it (hence my being a bit unsure).

Yes, the AI appears to scan each new post for any irregularities and usually approves the text right away.


It’s likely a recent forum policy change or an anti-spam measure. Some communities require new users or new topics to be approved until an account builds enough trust. If it wasn’t happening before, the admins may have adjusted the moderation settings.

I think the replies above from Sonos Staff should be considered.

AI probably doesn’t note the title after the poster’s name.
