I did some poking around, and here is what I found:
Changes to moderation were made March 13 of this year as part of the gamification initiative on SCN. Details were postedhere: Basically, you should only be moderated if you are a new user and/or your SCN point score is less than 30. Accumulating points on SCN works very similar to the way it works on this site.
This actually makes sense and seems acceptable to me.
However, I also read that there are still some issues with posts being inaccurately flagged for moderation. If this happens to you, please report it so the SCN folks can get it fixed.
