This post has been de-listed
It is no longer included in search results and normal feeds (front page, hot posts, subreddit posts, etc). It remains visible only via the author's post history.
The post is rather NSFW, so going to link to the .json version: /r/PeeDesperationMemes/comments/nyxl0v/one_more_captiontype_image_while_im_at_it/.json
That sub is fairly low activity, so it's easy to see where it should appear in /new, but it doesn't. Originally this happened to 2 posts, both by that same user; I removed the one and approved it again, which did fix the issue. A few other mods have reported seeing this same bug, and it's not easy to spot when this happens, so I figured I'd report it here in case it is of any help in tracking down a bug. If the bug is already fixed or I don't get a response, I'll just fix the post the same way as the last, but wanted to leave it in the broken state in case it helps in identifying the issue.
Semi-unrelated, but figured I'd mention it again; my own posts/comments were never restored when my shadowban was lifted, though those remained spam-filtered rather than in limbo.. If it's not too much trouble, it'd be nice if someone could look into that as well as how/why someone's entire post history would get removed due to a shadowban that was lifted..
To clarify, the main issue is that that user's posts are approved, by Reddit itself, but they still don't show up in subreddits. So Reddit does sometimes restore all a user's posts, but it often goes wrong, and some are approved but never restored to subreddit listings. It's not even consistent per-user; that user posted mostly in that community, yet only 2 of their posts there were left in limbo, with the rest having been both approved and restored to listings. That's clearly an issue with the site; there isn't supposed to be a distinction between whether posts are approved and whether they appear in listings.
But I guess this will never get proper response, because now it's "answered", even tho I had more than one issue..

I've modmailed the sub, as a few other mods were running into this but having trouble tracking it down, as removing then restoring a post to fix it also wipes out any trace of a problem existing. If I don't get a reply, I'll just do that and move on I guess.
