I looked a a couple of your messages, and while they are definitely not spam, they have many of the keywords, phrases, and brand names that may spammers use. For example, Your Message, with a little rewording could be text in a spam message for amazing system fixing software.
Unfortunate for you, but saves everyone from seeing trash. The moderators review messages fairly quickly and false positives are corrected.

Noted, thanks. I will just have to live with it. No big deal!

You'll get your way through and eventually the filters will consider you "not a menace"

look on the bright side:
it's special treatment, every word is being treated as so important the masters want to see them before the common folk.
whereas old dogs can do anything from finding diamonds to farting and no one cares anymore.

We use some AI to analyze messages for potential spam based on what has been marked as spam or not by our Protectors and others that have permission to moderate messages.
If you are think that you are being unfairly flagged, then please send me examples of messages that were sent to moderation so that I figure out why, and make adjustments if necessary.
It may just be that your style of writing is very similar to what spammers are using. Even so, if your messages are being flagged as good by the moderators, eventually the AI will figure it out and stop harassing you.
I would just tell it to stop picking on you, but I don't want to anger our Silicon Overlords.

But in one of your first messages even I was fooled and reported you as spammer.
So please be patient, let the spam filters get used to your style of writing.

It's not "time served" that counts - if it was spammers would just open accounts a year in advance (some of them have tried that, the oldest I've seen is around 13 ~ 14 years and suddenly starts spamming).
Relax, don't take it personally - we get them through as fast as we can! (And ... I'd rather not have The CyberHamster played with: I remember what life was like before he was given electrons and it was no fun at all. When you have nine or ten people trying to close accounts and dump spam and they still can't keep up it's a lot more frustrating for all members than waiting ten minutes for a message to appear.)

If at first you don't succeed remove all evidence you even tried.

If at first you don't succeed, lower your standards.

If at first you don't succeed - find a scapegoat.

Does it Work?
1) yes --> goto End:
2) no
Can you do something against it?
3) yes --> goto End:
4) no
Did you break it?
5) no --> goto End:
6) yes
Do you have someone to blame?
7) yes --> goto End:
8) no --> You're screwed :~
End:
Then, don't worry

But no, it was C# - but the cat had used the litter tray upstairs.
Now I know exactly why he prefers to "go" outdoors ...

of course; would you be happy using Simula [in a small sandbox]?

Wish it had been - a sandboxed simulation wouldn't have affected the outside world ...
