Over the past week, several legitimate posts have been caught by the automated spam filter and held for review. I want to document the affected posts here, explain why they were flagged, and confirm what has been done to address the issue.

Identified False Positives

• Post #312 — Vendor review by u/bulk_vendor_watcher. The filter flagged repeated product links as promotional spam. This was a legitimate multi-item review post.
• Post #298 — Setup guide by u/crypto_king_88. A long-form technical post with multiple code blocks triggered the content-length heuristic.
• Post #305 — Support request by u/new_crypto_buyer. The new account combined with a short post about payment methods matched the bot-signup pattern.

What Changed

The spam filter thresholds have been adjusted. The content-length heuristic now requires a higher ratio of repeated phrases before triggering. The new-account restriction window has been reduced from 24 hours to 6 hours for users who complete email verification. Additionally, vendor review posts with multiple product links will be whitelisted if the author has a trust score above 2.0.

Ongoing Monitoring

I will be monitoring the filter performance daily for the next two weeks. If your legitimate post is held for review, please contact a moderator via c/support and we will expedite approval. False positives waste everyone's time and we are committed to minimizing them while still catching actual spam.
