The artificial intelligence is thinking your content might be spam. It's not that the content is unacceptable. Actually there is a lot of "acceptable" spam that is actually solicitation or blackhat crosslinking. Don't take any offense to it. We're letting everything valid through and keeping the actual spam from showing up on the site. If we just turned everything off and let anyone post without the tools in place we'd see a repeat of April 11/12th.

Don't feel singled out for what you write - it's machine language which has no relation to reality!

Definitely not random. There are specific reasons that something is flagged as spam. Uncovering the reason can be a challenging onion to peel. Sometimes a post is flagged for one reason and other times for multiple reasons. Because we're seeing a number of false positives it could be a conflict of different algorithms. We're looking to get it fixed as fast as we can.

I just find it irritating Thomas especially if someone is struggling and you post a comment hoping to help the person right then not possibly hours later when it might not make any sense and it's not quite as irritating if you know right then it's being moderated but lately it's after its been approved but I'm not stressing just curious!

I'm trying to get posts approved as fast as possible.
If you reply right in the blog/discussion/question then you should see a note right after you post. If you are in the Inbox and are replying you will not likely see the notification until after the content is improved as the inbox is a quick way to respond to multiple things and is not as feature-rich as when you are posting in the actual post.
