New users are getting their comments marked as Awaiting for approval. But I don't have any settings enabled for that. Where do I set it so that this doesn't happen?

Some clarification.
The first comment was "This is a test comment to @test2" - that got flagged as "Awaiting for approval"
Same user commented again "another comment without the word test in it" which did not get flagged
Same user commented a third time "another comment without the word test in it this time with @ @test2" which did get flagged as "waiting for approval".
So it appears there is a block on @mentions. How do I remove that block?

confirmed - for the user test2 all comments with @mentions are being flagged for approval

I check the blocked word list for @ symbol and "test" - they are not on the list so that can't be the reason for thhe "waiting for approval" flag

Raise the number in Max number of links in moderation settings to 10, Still comment is getting flagged
Sorry for the late response.
wpDiscuz doesn't have any relation with comment moderation. It seems you've installed some antispam plugin. Please deactivate all security, antispam plugins and check again.

Hi, thanks for the reply. There are no anti-spam or security plugins installed
