Can anyone suggest why nearly all my innocuous comments or replies are initially flagged up as potential spam? Is this some dumb "AI" at work? If it is, it needs to properly retrained, methinks!

I can't, but I have approved several.
Just be patient maybe?
And maybe post more thought-provoking messages rather than "innocuous" ones.

By "innocuous" I meant "not offensive". Can you tell me what was potentially spammish about the comments I have made so far? It's almost as if I have been tagged as some sort of trouble maker, which I would deeply resent if that is the case.

I find "innocuous" offensive.
Nope, nothing spammy in them that I recall. Just maybe not enough reputation points earned yet.

Inoculated, yes. multiple times. Oh, wait. No harm!!!

The spam filters here take a little time to recognise that you are not a spammer. The more comments that get accepted the sooner it will realise that you are OK, and let all messages pass. Just be patient.

Why should heads roll because someone made a mistake? Is that the standard you apply to yourself whenever you slip up?

Possible personal health information reveal? If so, people will get in trouble because it is against the law. Has nothing to do with Griff, etc.
Here is the States it is a federal crime to reveal someone else's PII, PHI, or other health information without their prior consent. Not sure if that was the case here, but I think it was.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) | CDC[^]
Not sure what the laws are like in the UK/EU.

This was an SMS message sent to individuals asking them to undertake a test for suspected lung cancer, so no personal information would have been revealed to anyone else.
Quickly followed by a withdrawal and apology.

That depends on the seriousness of the mistake: in this case you have either revealed personal info to 8,000 strangers, or scared the **** out of 7,999 of them just as you prepare to shut up the surgery so they can't contact you to find out.
If your doctor texted you that message and went off for Christmas, how would you feel?
When you send data to anyone, you have to accept responsibility - and that means making certain that the right message goes only to the right person.

An SMS message is private so no personal information was revealed to anyone else. This was probably done by a junior member of the surgery staff working under pressure who accidently clicked on the wrong thing without realising it. It happens, in this case it was quickly fixed, and apart from a couple of people who made a meal of it and a BBC reporter trying to create a stir, nobody seems to have been too concerned.
I do hope that when next time at work you make a slip up that could have unwelcome consequences but is quickly corrected you take ownership and _insist_ that you are demoted or even fired. After all forgiveness is not an option and heads should always roll.
