In the last few days, I've had two messages marked as possible spam; they were eventually released, but I like to know, if possible, WHY they were marked as possible spam. If there are certain words I should avoid, I'll try to do so, but without knowing, it's hard to adjust behaviour.
Thanks,
Tim

To tell people on a case by case basis, would be, I guess very time consuming.
To tell everybody, would be defeating the object, as you are then educating the Spammers.

That's the point you shouldn't adjust your behaviour, the filter should learn what normal messages are. The word/words you used were incorrectly flagged as potential Spam indicators. It's this flagging that has been fixed - so you should be able to use these words now.

Please don't adjust your posting behaviour. The whole point of the spam system is that we teach it what we feel is acceptable and what is not. Post as you will, and if it gets trapped then after it's marked "good" the system will learn and should not bother you again. If it again gets all weird on you then it's time to give it another lesson.
It works for us; we don't work for it.

Thank you both... it was just odd because I had never had anything marked as spam before.

For Message Moderation the Message Replied To column contains links to the parent messages. I've turned this into a button to make it more obvious.
I'll look at doing something similar for Q&A.

Done and waiting for deploy.

Wouldn't it make sense to bypass the spam filter for messages from members with a certain minimum reputation?

Nope.
As discussed before: spam, sadly, can come from all directions.

The only thing I could think of might be to not Filter Spam in this Forum as it is likely that posters might be quoting a spam message.
But I am waiting until it becomes an issue, as the Filter might actually figure this out.

Removed the post as it's off topic and clear case of setup. Let's go..!
