I posted a battle replay on here.

And I left it there so it can get approved, but when I came it says it's hidden.

I have tried posting it 3 times and it still needs to get approved. It was hidden every time.
It didn't say a mod hid my post, but it always got hidden.

Maybe it was flagged
Nope and there were no reason to flag it.
If a mod hid it, the post will simply say that it was hidden. It won't way by a mod, so I guess that's what happened.
No when a mod hides something it says that a mod hided the question/answer. http://m.imgur.com/BQ0wrLi

Because of a bug on the site. Basically, if you edit your post on something that was posted a long time ago and you don't have the points to bypass moderation, the post will show up in the admin again for some reason. Then if an editor+ chooses not to approve it, it will be hidden.

Not sure if PM knows about this, should be fixed though as it becomes a problem pretty frequently with newer users constantly editing posts on moveset threads and stuff.

EDIT: I just looked at the post and approved it. The images are gigantic which is probably why they were hidden, the page lags enough without extra images to load.

yea it happened to me too (I asked on the "why was my post hidden" thread already but the answer hasn't been approved yet) on this post: https://pokemondb.net/pokebase/362201/what-pokemon-are-every-game-and-what-pokemon-every-generation
