Hi @Tosan ,

Our spam filters are sensitive and can be triggered by a myriad of functions. However, we are unable to disclose that information.

If you have problem in the future, feel free to contact us!

Have a great week!

Hi @Tosan - I’ve had this happened in the past, and although I don’t know the actual logic that made the spam filter triggered, I did find some patterns. Usually when your post contains a LOT of photos and/or videos (like more than 10), it will may be considered as spam by the system filter. There’s nothing wrong with posting a lot of photos and videos in your post if it really supports your story. So keep proceeding as usual, and make sure to tag one of the moderators if your post happen to get caught in the spam filter again in the future.

Hello @Ivi_Ge , admins and fellow guides.

I’ve put a lot of time into writing my local story ‘7 Tips To Improve Your Reviewing’, yet it got marked as spam and unlisted. Could you please verify what is the issue? Please explain if I broke any rules.

Thanks in advance!

I just released your post from spam quarantine. Our filter is working to protect the community and you from unwanted content, but sometimes it can be triggered by something and remove a legitimate post.

Moderators are patrolling the quarantine to release the good post so, if your post has been rejected, don’t post it again. Simply tag a moderator (check here and here).
