Topic: Why do some requests show [APPROVED] but others show nothing?

Posted under General

when our local snek admin makes a decision on a request, it usually adds the big bold [APPROVED] and [REJECTED] to the title and the last reply is the auto-mod
so we get two different visual confirmations that a decision was made
but every now and then, the title edit doesnt happen while the auto-mod reply always does
is there a reason why?

It will only update the title if the topic matches the expected format, which is "Tag alias: [antecedent] -> [consequent]" / "Tag implication: [antecedent] -> [consequent]"

It needs to be exact
