SPAM Trap

As all of my two posts got caught by the SPAM trap because I included links (from EuGH which should be a reliable source) I have the pleasure to say thank you to three of (oliver2002, totti and Mikel) you service professionals for their heads up (I don’t include links within this post as totti advised me to wait for another 2 to 3 posts until I add links again).

Still I am puzzled what happened and I feel very uncomfortable, let me explain a long story short:
  • After several unsuccessful attempts to bring my post up (Miles & More Forum) and without receiving any notification what went wrong, I navigated this BB and found the service & support section.
  • I (tried to) open a new thread (without links) and asked what happened with my entry. After a while a window appeared on my screen basically seeing as my post did not pass SPAM filter, a moderator will contact me.
  • I feel guilty without knowing what I made wrong.
  • If you have to wait, time ran very slow. I search again and found a contact form, which I used. Mikel told me that the post in question was approved by a moderator and is now displaying. Independently oliver2002 wrote a similar PM.
  • I looked after my post and after a while I found him a post # 3 with 15 something posts following. As my statement differed from all replies, I realized that it went unread.
  • I replayed but my second post did not pass SPAM filter either and totti approved my post.
As I feel such a situation unpleasant, may I ask you this:

Is it possible to give us a helping hand to avoid such issues (this saves you human resources and future newbies frustration)?

Thanks for taking into consideration!
