Mods, why is every single post or commment I make here always flagged as potential spam needing review?

It's a heuristic system: it learns from what you post and what happens to stuff it thinks might be spam. If you are a new member and a post gets flagged as "possible spam" it "keeps an eye on you" for a while and then forgets about you if you "behave". It's pretty good most of the time and it doesn't take too long for it to get bored and stop. When it was new and shiny it added me to the naughty list and I spent a while having to moderate my own posts! :D Give it a while and you'll be fine.

It's common when you're a new or otherwise inactive user because you don't have that many reputation points. It's kind of a pain but it's a necessarily evil to cut down on spamming and such, which the site gets a lot of. Just be patient, and eventually you'll get an established reputation (you can check it your profile) and you'll no longer be automoderated. We all go through this hazing ritual.

Fair enough, I guess. Thanks.

It postdates your membership - it's what? 5 years old? Maybe a little longer?

Thank you, and that’s hilarious :)
It makes mistakes from time to time, but it's absolutely necessary - you wouldn't believe how much attempted spam we get. And as for spam waves :shudder: ... when bots get involved you can get thousands of spam posts an hour and that drives legitimate posts to page 50+ in no time. Since the autodetection system was introduced not of those have been seen by anyone except rapidly tiring moderators! :-D We get to the queue as quickly as we can and liberate false positives, and it learns from that - but we generally have other (paying) jobs to do and it can take a short while to get to it. Please, bear with us!

It was in its infancy, and making more mistakes than now. The Hamsters tweaked it so it doesn't catch Protector-level members any more.

Oh god no. They tried that with a commenting platform online at a site that shall remain nameless. The moderation went from okay (humans) to non-existent (nobody) to awful (A"I") They suck at this.

That sounds like a rotten task. Thanks for carrying the load for the rest of us. <°}}}>«<

Is this the normal experience of everyone?
I have two accounts, one (this one) that I use regularly and often from my office, one that I use (more rarely) from home. The office account posts immediately, the home account gets checked and posts some time later. Makes sense, I guess.
