Various words, organizations, person names, company names, links, websites or not "family friendly" words in a new post will trigger the Approval Queue for Management. This is an automated software process that is one of the tools Cruise Critic uses for spam defense. The member posting the post will see their post in red, but other members cannot see the post. The software automatically requests Management to review the hidden post. A human in Management, when time permits, will read the hidden post to approve or deny. If the post is denied it will no longer appear in the thread. If the post is approved the poster as well as everyone else will then see the post in the thread.
