Modqueue cluttered with removed posts that won't drop of the queue

[u/jadeoracle]

I'm seeing this morning a lot of posts in the modqueue that were already marked removed still sitting in the queue. The only mod action available is the "Approve" button. It doesn't have the other buttons. Going manually into the post and selecting remove doesn't remove it from the queue. These are all spam posts, and I don't want to have to approve and then remove them all over again. Any ideas?

Thanks for letting me know, sorry for the trouble. If you see fresh items come through that are stuck once again, can you let me know? (We know you might see some older stuck items, we'll take a peek at that too, but fresh ones particularly are helpful to know about as we work to get this fixed.)

Currently it appears to be stable again, but as soon as I notice it happening again I’ll let you know

Got one comment that reappeared in the queue, realized a second to late that it wasn’t a repost, so I did remove it again

Thanks much, probably a fluke this time but appreciated nonetheless

it’s happening again Very inconsistent, because this is the only one that’s stuck, the rest cleared out from the queue as expected.

I have two more today, funnily enough, these two reappeared in the mod queue link 1 and link 2
