Posts created from the users without the confirmed role may be automatically unpublished because they are thought to be spam. This happens also in the Drupal.org webmasters queue, where users post an issue to get their account confirmed.

In some cases, those requests are automatically unpublished because though to be spam, even if they aren't. It happened, for example, with https://www.drupal.org/project/webmasters/issues/3134113. The user just asked to get the account confirmed and has never posted any suspicious link, in that issue. I just found one of the comments on that issue between the unpublished comments, checking it, and noticed it was in an issue asking for getting the account confirmed.

May we avoid the issues on the queue for webmasters are automatically unpublished? In the case the post is really spam (which doesn't happen often), the user would be blocked quickly enough. Vice versa, a false positive on that queue could discourage users from partecipating on drupal.org.

Issues for both Drupal.org webmasters & infrastructure will now not be unpublished if Akismet thinks they are spam.
