generally speaking, if you do not see your post in a reasonable time, it most likely was deleted. reposting without self editing will not get the post approved.
regarding editing: some edits are identified in the body of the post whereas others are done without bold text. This is up to 1) the descretion of the individual moderators, 2) the nature of what needs to be edited, 3) the volume of current posts and 4) the volume of posts in backlog.
