Why are my own questions being sent to the moderation queue?
I am a moderator, and every time I ask a question (including this question right here), my question is sent to the moderation queue to be approved before it is made visible. Strangely, I can go to the queue and publish or reject my own question. Is this a bug of some sort? Has anyone else experienced this?
This is a bug, and we are looking at individual posts that this happens to in order to understand what's causing it. Can you send me the link to the post that got sent to moderation?
The question above and this question were both sent to the moderation queue.

I can't remember where I saw this, but there was something about a tiny bug due to the site switch (a few months ago or maybe another ore recent change?) You had to gain points for it to recognize you as a Moderator.
Something like: the switch reset all roles, and it only recomputed when your points changed.
@RLin I upvoted your question to give you some karma, which if Owen's memory is correct should recompute your "doesn't require moderation" status. Let us know if it works.
Just asked a question, it didn't get sent to moderation. It worked!
Nvm, reloaded my webpage several times and cleared cookies, it worked.

It was my first suggestion when this nonsense started happening ;)

Hello! So after some weeks of testing, it is true that when switching the themes, moderator permissions got reset somehow until they receive an up-vote or similar. Flushing the cache may not solve this and it will freeze the site, so we need to give each other up-votes until everyone is clear.
Super annoying issue, but thanks all who helped us figure this out!
