Mod note on 'MetaFilter site rebuild monthly update: October 2025'

phunniemee: "Can we get any info on how the anon ask me queue currently works?"

Post appears in queue and stays there for 48 hours. From landing page of the backend, mods can see the number of posts in the Anon and other queues (no there is not a MeTa queue, the text was just left there, all MeTas are immediately posted).

After 48 hours (i think), the grey circle turns Green, letting us know to manually approve an Anon post.

After a certain amount of unknown time, the circle can red, letting us know a post is overdue.
