I don't know. Every time I've seen your posts in moderation I've let them through. Some I have had to think about a while because they seemed borderline trollish.
It may be that someone got tired of seeing your posts in moderation so frequently.
P.S.
Spam and trolling are in the eye of the beholder.
You may be able to appeal to Sean to find out what post was reported.

Thank you for your informative reply May I please inquire as to what "trollish" means All I found on web was something to do w/ supernatural beings which I do not believe I am Also who is Sean and how do I appeal to him As for frequent moderation that may be the result of the automatic filter which has always proved to be inaccurate As for frequency I do not post nearly as frequently as many others Thank You Kindly - Cheerio

At the top of The Lounge[^], it states
Quote: Trolling, (political, climate, religious or whatever) will result in your account being removed.
From what you described, it sounds like your post might have been rejected for criticizing some religious beliefs, which can trigger a pointless debate. That said, even long-standing members occasionally troll on topics that are off-limits. But such a post gets closed if enough members flag it. And it has happened that a long-standing account has been closed for crossing the line too often. So if you feel compelled to do it, try to keep it subtle.

If you show us the complete message it may help to find the reason. Or maybe @sean-ewington can work some magic.

Please note in my original post in this thread I stated I was not provided the content referred to - Cheerio

I did not ask for that, I asked you to show us the message you received.

Thank Your for your interest Sorry I did not understand your meaning The full text of the message received is below.
Hi PaltryProgrammer,
1 time members have reported your account at CodeProject as "Content has been posted that is spam". Unfortunately this means your account is now deactivated.

|

Yes, definitely less than helpful. Maybe Sean will respond.
|
|
|
|

Unfortunately once the message has been reported, I can't see what your message was either, so I am unable to tell you what was wrong with it. Also, I don't recall marking your message as spam, and I typically don't mark messages from known members as spam as a general practice. I also find it strange that the message says your account is deactivated but it seems to be working just fine. Very mysterious.
In any case, our apologies for the confusion.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

I accidentally click the spam button trying to see the votes. This deactivated the account.
I reactivated it once I realized what I had done.
Sorry for the confusion.

Profiles for low-rep user accounts quite rightly don't allow a home-page link, or links in the bio.
The spammers seems to have cottoned-on to this restriction. They've started embedding their links as QR codes in their profile picture. Eg:
Perhaps it's time to start restricting the display of profile pictures below a certain rep-point threshold as well?

Or just use a reader to check if it is a QR code and specifically ban those ones?
That's more work, but it's more friendly for newbies.

I should have read your message before replying.
It's actually pretty easy.

Clever, but at this point I don't want to make newcomers feel that unwelcome. Cranking down the screws helps, certainly, but there's a point where it hurts the good guys more than it dissuades the bad guys.
Having said that, Uzi Granot has kindly shared his QR code library[^] that probably makes it trivial for us to do a quick sanity cbeck and simply ditch images with QR codes...
cheers

Lol, what a farsighted logic! Same is valid for other pictures with abusive content and also any text.
Think about it... is not more the content of a qr code/any other pic which can be problematic?

I submitted a question and was met w/ a message stating more or less "too many posts" and "should ease up tiger" Is this because I submitted a Trick/Tip the same day and another a day or two ago? The question is displayed when I click on My Questions but w/o any indication it has not been posted in fact it states "Posted 23 minutes ago". It is not displayed when I click on View All Questions. If there is a limit on posts why did not the message state the limit? I read the Terms of Service but saw nothing re/ limits on posts Kindly advise

Q&A has been having issues lately (being completely and utterly broken yesterday. See threads below).
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

It's been ten hours since the last question was posted, so I tried posting a test one:
All I got was:
There was an internal error creating the item.
That explains the long gap, I guess ...

Found the issues
1. A database change wasn't reflected properly in one of the sprocs
2. Our health monitoring completely failed to alert us
#1 was 30 secs. #2 is the one that's concerning us the most

How long until the fix is deployed? I'm still getting the error posting a solution.
