very strange…. In my ‘Posts’ listing, I have 2 posts. One post labelled  ‘Published’ 28 days ago but when I click on it, it says awaiting moderator. 0 views, 0 comments

If I press the edit button on that one, I see my very big post about the beta. This 4-line post you mention is not one I recall…. It is also not in my ‘Posts’

 I also have a second post labelled ‘Draft’ and titled “Basic256 v2.1.0 is out”. That one should be published.

Something strange is going on with the state of my posts

Ah, i see now. That was not a post, but a reply of mine to a post of yours regarding the Basic256 book….

Funny that just 2 links are enough to send it to the spam bucket….

Still no idea where my last post is??

Ha....maybe I undertood. Perhaps there are so many game developers and tools developers promoting their projects (stored on Github) by issuing a lot of posts with Github's URLs  in different forums or messageboards on Itch. That is not a bug of the spam detector. The Itch's staff really wants to stop this phenomenon. 

`Hi, at the moment, there is no post in the pending folder. Maybe there is bug in Itch's spam detector. There are two posts in your posts listing. Perhaps you may not need to publish the big "Beta" post any more because the beta stage was over. The other post is the "Basic256 v2.1.0 is out" post. My guess: this post will appear in the pending folder 28 to 29 days later. Would you mind posting this "Basic256 v2.1.0 is out" post in a new thread again? But without any URL I believe that the spam detector will not isolate this new post(no URL). If succeed, edit the post, add another URL, issue the post. If succeed again, edit, add, issue........... So continue these same steps again and again..... If the spam detector really isolates the post at one point, we will understand in what situation the spam detector takes action automatically. Maybe you need to spend 15 minutes on trying. If there is really a bug, I will be able to report to the staff of Itch with details. Thanks.

I have reviewed the last post and there is not a single github mentioned, just three links:homepage, a subdomain with documentation and a subdomain where the WASM lives… Lets see where that lands first.

Oh, and the big Beta post is probably a first try on getting someting published. It’s called “Basic256 The Next Generation” and is about similar to this post simply called “Basic256” Then again, this post (“Basic256”) does not appear in my list of posts…. Only the next generation one and the v2.1.0 one.
