My post was deleted/flagged as spam, I don’t really know what is the case. I put a lot of effort in it and I’m extremely unhappy about this.

@Alinija , I moved your post out of spam quarantine.

What happens at times if you post a lot of photos in a single post (I believe you have 17 photos here), this triggers the spam algorithm.

Next time try to limit your number of photos. Up to 10 photos doesn’t seem to trigger this. I would suggest created a shared Google Photos album

link and add it your post.

Cheers,

Karen

Thanks @KarenVChin .

I read a lot of tips how to share a post here but I didn’t notice any of them mentioning photo limit.

Where can I find this rule? Maybe you could make this information more visible for others?

Have a nice day,
Ala

My post got deleted too :pensive: can you help me @KarenVChin ? I post only 6 photos, and no email or notification. Why?

@hanggerputro - I released your post out of the spam quarantine.

After reading your post, I don’t see it as “spam.” You would not get an email or notification. I am tagging Google Moderator @TsekoV to take a look at your post for further investigation why your post ended up in spam.

Cheers,

Karen

Hi @KarenVChin ,

Thank you for helping out with this problem and for tagging me.

@hanggerputro , I just double-checked, it seems that you don’t have any other posts that are in the spam quarantine. I would like to apologize for your post being marked as spam. Our spam filters run 24/7 and they can be a little harsh at times.
