You moderators marked my post as spam? Why? I asked a legit question with relative images.

The same has actually happened to my first forum post -> Microsoft Power BI Community -> Forums -> Get Help with Power BI -> Power Query -> "Translation" of Excel formula into M language for the Power Query Editor. Could someone of you moderators please check my post and release it? It's certainly no spam, rather a legit question of someone who would like to improve his Excel skills! 😄

Cheers,

lasse0hlsen Your post has been unmarked. If one of you posts is marked as spam, you can respond to the abuse report with a reason for why it shouldn't have been flagged, just like you did.

As Brandy wrote in her post, the platform scans for spam automatically and we monitor all flagged posts to determine whether or not the content should be unmarked.

Content marked as spam is monitored most heavily Monday - Friday, during US business hours.

You should be good to go on this post. Thanks for being a part of the community!
