Resolved: Own Thread + Post Reply + Waiting For Approval = Huh?

[Lord X-Giga-X]

So after waiting for my thread in Game Showcase to be approved, I wanted to reply to a question posted in it. I went with the traditional Post Reply button rather than Quick Reply because I figured it didn't matter too much. So I made the reply while also making absolutely sure I was posting in my thread, and now I'm just sitting here waiting for the post to be approved... And I don't quite understand why... Is this typical of posting in that section, or did something go wrong with using the actual Post Reply button? Or is there just something else I'm missing here? I just want to know what the case is, because I'm really confused right now.

Your post was flagged by the spam filter. I've flagged the post as a false positive and approved it.

I'm assuming it was flagged partly due to the length of the post.

That's... quite unusual... Sorta makes sense, but yeah... I suppose that means I should be a bit more careful with my responses.

Thank you for the help though!

The spam filter is trained to detect unusually long posts by new members. It's quite efficient in stopping spam nowadays, but sometimes it guesses wrong. Don't worry about your posts, just poke a moderator if it happens again :) Sorry for the inconvenience.
