    I've been around for a while now. Why are all my posts marked as "suspected spam" or whatever? Do I have to bombard the Lounge with a certain density of posts/day to be accepted as "not a spammer"?

      You should eventually be fine if you just keep doing what you're doing. I wonder if you posted a link or a certain phrase one day and the spam detector is just having trouble letting that instance go. I would suggest avoid sharing links for a bit, and you should be righted eventually.

      Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

        That nuisance goes away once you hit a specific total message count or something related.

          A guess is that the spam trap is triggered by words or combinations of words deemed as suspicious Maybe the filter doesn’t like your nickname either

            Don't recall posting any links, and most of my posts are pretty harmless. Maybe I'll try blitzing rubbish for a while, until the mod note goes. Jk. Thanks for the reply.

              No, do not do that! It is better to post a few good messages / articles / questions and have to endure a delay whilst they are moderated than to get a reputation for spouting rubbish - once you have that reputation, people will just ignore everything you post even if it is brilliant.

                Thanks for the pointers, but it was a joke.
