Is it normal the notifications lie to me?

I just posted an unusual poll.

It was approved - It must have been, the post is on the front page.

The post page says: "Your post has been moderated and approved, congratulations!"

The interesting part is that I got a notification and e-mail saying "Sorry, your submission was not approved"

What is happening?

  • Did you have more than one poll/story being moderated?

    • Nope. Just that one.

      It was approved, but I got the 'not approved' notification and e-mail.

    I've been having a problem with my comments not being posted to the appropriate questions.

    I don't think the notifications harbour any malice.

    The site has a lot of glitches on its own. Sometimes I'd get a reply in my notices days later after someone had originally replied. Sometimes my stories will get approved and I won't even get a notice nor an email. I don't mind, of course. It's not a big deal to me.

    I had a similar thing happen to me, but that was ages ago now. My notifications have been a bit strange recently though. Sometimes, although not that often, I'll get notifications from days before the comment was made. It's weird though, because if someone else has replied to it and I return to the comment, the one which has been written before by another user won't be there. It just decides to pop up a few days later.
