The paradox exists becasue we are part of the problem and believe to be part of the solution...

I thought you didn't do Twatter.
This fact may, or may not, have something to do with the Fermi paradox.

I was trying to get some old projects of mine to build. They used CMake.
CMake wasn't building my projects. It used to find the compilers, but now it can't. So I added some env variables
Now CMake was building my projects. But I go to run them, I get no output. No error. Nothing.
Worse, I try to compile one of my projects that used my graphics lib and I was getting all kinds of compile errors. Yikes. Even though the C++ standard was set to 17.
I install another copy of MinGW from another source. Now it says my C++ compiler can't compile the test program (CMake tries the compiler with a dry run source file to see if it works)
I feel like an idiot.
I was using 32 bit versions of everything. I have no idea why. I know better.
It's been one of those days.

The make -> cmake transition marks (at least in my mind) the 'bare metal' to 'higher level, more complex stuff' and I don't like it.

It's common when you're a new or otherwise inactive user because you don't have that many reputation points.
It's kind of a pain but it's a necessarily evil to cut down on spamming and such, which the site gets a lot of.
Just be patient, and eventually you'll get an established reputation (you can check it your profile) and you'll no longer be automoderated.
We all go through this hazing ritual.

It's a heuristic system: it learns from what you post and what happens to stuff it thinks might be spam. If you are a new member and a post gets flagged as "possible spam" it "keeps an eye on you" for a while and then forgets about you if you "behave".
It's pretty good most of the time and it doesn't take too long for it to get bored and stop.
When it was new and shiny it added me to the naughty list and I spent a while having to moderate my own posts!
Give it a while and you'll be fine.

It makes mistakes from time to time, but it's absolutely necessary - you wouldn't believe how much attempted spam we get. And as for spam waves :shudder: ... when bots get involved you can get thousands of spam posts an hour and that drives legitimate posts to page 50+ in no time. Since the autodetection system was introduced not of those have been seen by anyone except rapidly tiring moderators!
We get to the queue as quickly as we can and liberate false positives, and it learns from that - but we generally have other (paying) jobs to do and it can take a short while to get to it. Please, bear with us!
