Post gets rejected

[chris73]

Hi guys,

i tried to publish a post but it always gets rejected. First it says it needs to be approved but if I check the status its already "rejected". For no possible reasons and no explenations given. I could really need some help from the forum.

Thanks for reaching out! I have also been experiencing this issue with our Community site. Please include a screenshot of what you were seeing so that I may relay it better to my platform support team so that they can help us get it fixed!

Thanks in advance!

"sadly" I tried it again the day after and my topic got posted. It seems to me that if you update a post too often within a short period the forum will automatically reject the post.

Hey, @chris73!

Thanks for the quick reply! I will make note of this and monitor for anyone else reporting this issue. It is possible this could be a network connection issue. Please let me know if this behavior persists frequently and I will take a deeper dive into what could be happening. 

Thanks again for posting on the Flow Community!

Hi @GabrielStJohn ,

I just encountered this issue, was replying to a post by another user and published my post.

I noticed a mistake so I edited it, then noticed another mistake (don't judge me...) and edited again. Upon publishing it for the third time it got automatically rejected. Upon searching around for a while it would appear that it was automatically marked as spam.

Curiously though it says that "If you believe this was in error submit an abuse report" with a link that then takes you to the page to report inappropriate content, even though it is really reporting the opposite! I submitted a report anyway and hopefully my post gets approved as I was quite proud of the solution.

Link to thread/post in question if it helps

Hey, @jwhite!

Thanks so much for posting! 

I have investigated this specific instance and it appears that your post was marked spam by our automatic spam filter. It has since been removed from the spam quarantine and made public once again. Please let me know if you are not able to see your post. 

Also, please feel free to report platform behavior like this in the future, as it is great to know where our spam filter is stopping good content from being posted. A post just like the one you made here is perfect to let us know the issue.

Thanks again!

Hey, @GabrielStJohn 

thanks for your fast reply.

The topic you just linked is perfectly fine, if you look at my picture, the topic I am refering to has a different heading:

Ahh ok, I see now that the post in question is indeed restricted for some reason. My apologies for this inconvenience. Please allow me to investigate this further and get back to you. If you don't mind trying to recreate this behavior by re-posting the thread and then replying here with the link so that we can see if the error persists. Again my apologies and thank you for your patience while I figure this out!

Cheers!
