Afaik, there are currently certain restrictions (no PMs, no signature, some approval requirements) based on the 'new user' status (yellow username, <= 10 posts) which - in this case - have been removed by joedf. But some rules are simply based on the number of posts and not caused by belonging to the "new user" group. So, as long as you have under 20 posts or whatever was defined, you might still see the need for approval under certain circumstances. In this case, obviously an additional rule was triggered, a classic one (@ staff: see topic logs).
