Ask HN/PG: Bug report for "pending"

1 pointmschuster915 comments

Hi, in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7482033 I posted a link - and the comment immediately went to "pending", despite me having over 1000 karma points and the parent thread totally empty...

Oops, not sure how that happened, but I've turned it off.

Hmm... is it possible that there's a spam filter automatically triggering on posts containing just a link(which the first version of the comment was)?

FWIW the way it happened was that I entered the latest changes to the pending comment code via the repl. So when the server restarted, it had the initial version of the code, which enforced pending comments sitewide instead of per thread.

Having over 1000 Karma does not give immunity to having comments being pending.

Looks like the entire site is in pending mode now.

Together with the 502/504 errors in the last hours, I guess this is an instance of Update Gone Wrong(tm).
