Posts getting caught by spam filter?

crunchlab · 25th January 2020, 10:55

All of my recent posts were caught by a spam filter. I am not a very active member but this never happened to me before on Doom9. I don't post any external links, images or anything.

Now every time I submit my post I get a message that "it is pending moderator approval". It prevents me from participating in discussions because it takes days to get approved and then my post pops up somewhere in the middle of the second-last page where nobody will see it.

Can something be done about it?

edit: ironically this post did not require any manual approval!

I see that you only have 9 posts, perhaps spam thing will disappear when you reach/exceed 10 posts (or maybe you already reached non-spam post count).

I didn't experience this problem when I had even less posts. Oh well, let's see.

We had a lot of spam/gunk posted in funny squiggly text, a little while ago, perhaps spam thing was added after that bout of nonsense.
You seem to have posted above without much delay, so maybe you is ok now.
