[SOLVED?] Disappearing posts marked as Spam …

[Member mikey777]

I created a post yesterday entitled “Cannot enable autologin – how to fix this?”, but it disappeared following my last edit (nothing new).
This morning I searched for it on the forum, and saw it listed (click on 1st attachment below to see the entire screenshot) – it’s the post by mikey777.

I then discovered that when I click on the name mikey777, I get the notification “This topic is marked as spam” (see 2nd attachment). Why and how is this?

NB. A warning to others: always tick the “Keep a log of this edit” box, when you write a post. It’s located just below “Notify me of follow-up replies via email”.

PS. Are any of these posts, marked as spam, recoverable?

Looks like the spam filter decided an empty post is spam.

As fatmac pointed out as far as the forum software goes …
the software thinks it’s a bot.
It can’t be an empty post or flagged.
I think it will flag if you edit and post rapidly too.

It’s happened again, with a post I edited today – getting really cheesed off with this.
Post gobbled up by the ‘spam filter’ …

@fatmac
@linuxdaddy
Take your point guys, but I’m not posting any ’empty posts’.
The ’empty post’ and accompanying ‘spam message’ is what bounces
back after I’ve submitted the edits on a recent post …

NB. the box entitled “Keep a log of this edit” was ticked.

If you constantly edit your posts, the spam filter thinks you are a spammer and the post is sent to be approved.
If you then write another post, the same happens.

So, either don’t edit your posts, or, better, wait a while after it has been published, then edit.

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

Many thanks for your feedback.
Yes, maybe better to write my post in libreoffice first, do the edits there, and then
copy & paste to forum, thus avoiding any edits …

I think I’ve found the solution when you can edit to avoid disappearing posts.
When the EDIT button in the top left of the post:
– is blue it is safe to edit (2nd screenshot).
– is black it isn’t safe to edit (1st screenshot) and you risk ‘losing’ your post.

To date, it seems to me that all the posts I seem to have ‘lost’, eventually appear – sometimes
this is the next day, sometimes a few days later.
