Here are the settings from WP discussions setting page. Can't find anything that would casue the issue. https://share.getcloudapp.com/lluJyLX5

The only time a comment gets flagged is when it contains @username. The issue seems to be related to the user and commenting wp discuzz addon 

We have two WPdiscuz addons. Flagging and @mentions. Both are installed and activated. Only one is showing as enabled in the WPdiscuz addon page. See link https://share.getcloudapp.com/nOue8pO6

Deactivated wpdiscuz user commenting add on. PLaced same exact comment that before was flagged as "Awaiting for approval" only now it went through and does not say that. So it appears the wpdiscuz user commenting add on is the isssue afterall

reinstalled wpdiscuz user commenting add on, comment is now being marked as "Awaiting for approval" again!!!!! 

Yes
