Help! Posts not going to moderation queue

[kersti]

I have my registered users set to be moderated, once they have a post approved they getpromoted to an approved user with no moderation - it was working fine but today it's not, their emails are going into the standard pool, and given the amount of spam I've had of late this is a problem!

I've checked the settings - they look fine, any clues????

"their emails are going into the standard pool"

I don't understand this part.
