Why did my question go to moderation?

I asked my first question today and when I checked back I found out that it went into moderation. This is how it looks on my activities: alt text

The UI for composing questions isn't the best and I encountered some errors while submitting but the activity UI doesn't make any sense at all. It appears as if I have moved my own question to moderation.

My question now displays the following notification but there is no clear ways to "contact administration".

So my meta-question is, how can I get my question checked and saved from limbo?

Update:

It's been suggested that the question went to moderation because it wasn't inline with the guideline. Since the activity UI obfuscates who actually rejected the question (See Image #1), there's no way of debating if the question was in fact good or not.

You have posted twice the same question. One has been sent to moderation and rejected (yes, indeed, the messages are not very explicit). The second one had been sent to moderation and rejected too because it does not fit the rules of Unity Answers. Two comments has been posted to help you solve your issue.

Thank you @Hellium for your answer to my question which was also deleted yesterday and couldn't reply)

Thanks for the reply @Hellium. I haven't intentionally asked the same question twice, as I mentioned there was an error at my first attempt at submitting the question form, that's when the duplication happened probably.

In any case, I think the contents of the question was inline with the rules of Unity Answers and it was perfectly fine for getting answered on StackOverflow with the same content.

Yes, there have been serious problems on Unity Answers for months now, this problem often occurs and moderators delete the duplicate one.

You can find the other one which received comments here:

https://answers.unity.com/questions/1605119/calling-a-method-from-another-script-which-instant-1.html

In any case, I think the contents of the question was inline with the rules of Unity Answers and it was perfectly fine for getting answered on StackOverflow with the same content.

Because it's about a NullReferenceException, your question is a duplicate of the numerous ones already asked. You will easily find several resources one the web to understand, diagnose and solve this problem by yourself.
