Just this morning I was writing a blog post and pushed the Save button so I could preview the final layout. To my surprise I was told the blog was awaiting moderator approval. That has since happened and the blog is now published. I'm 100% convinced I pushed "Save" and not "Publish". Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a known problem?

Request clarification before answering.
Hey Steve
This happened to me with my BIF
I suspect you have used one of the "special" sensitive words that puts it into automated moderator approval.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to differentiate between draft and publishing.
I am yet to know what this "special" word is.
If you aren't ready to publish you might want to CC the space Moderators in here to get their attention?
Regards
Colleen

I would be interested if the same thing happened in my thread over here . When it was published before I wanted it to be, I assumed I was being a retard and just pushed "Publish", but in actuality I'm pretty sure I pushed "Save" here as well and only corrected some minor spelling mistakes of my last "saved" version.
Thesis: Is a blog automatically published if you "save" it too often? I.e. is there some kind of counter that says "can't save more often than 20 times --> publish"?

I think it just comes down to the logic when the "magic" word is used
When you press save or publish it is checking immediately instead of just checking on publish... in Steve's case
Lukas, I did accidentally publish a document once. I had red edits all through it and had to quickly scramble to fix the version to publish again. I thought I might have been typing too quickly and hit the wrong short cut key combination. I put it down to user error.
On the couple of blogs I've published, since they tend to be long and I work on them in between "real work," I 'save' them frequently. Some of them very frequently. This never resulted in unintended publication, so no, I don't think hitting 'save' too many times will cause this. I think it's entirely based on the "magic word" moderation. I'd agree that just because the auto-moderation kicks in shouldn't result in a different action than intended once the moderator releases the blog (i.e. 'publish' instead of 'save').

It has never happened to me before. I'm assuming it is just a glitch. If no one else has ever seen this happen, I'm even prepared to believe I'm mis-remembering what I did, although I do often save/preview before publishing so I'm pretty sure about getting it right.
No harm done in this case, so perhaps it isn't a big deal if it is just me.
