Message marked as Spam

[AKingma]

Hi, I see numerous messages about the same experience as I have: "immediately after posting, my message was marked as SPAM and I don't understand why"? All of these messages got private answers, so I still do not have a clue what I did wrong. Can you explain (for me and for future users)?

I tried to post a question about PowerBI (about calculating cumulative costs/running totals from events in progress), but it was marked as SPAM. Since I didn't understand why, I tried again by making my post shorter and better looking, but same result. So there are two similar questions that never made it to the forum.

I would like to know too.

I'm trying to post a message about Fabric issues and the post is always marked as spam. Why is it happening?

Do you mean this post? Running total of costs in combination with events ... - Microsoft Fabric Community  It is not marked as spam.

Hi lbendlin, not anymore...

The thing is, everyone asking about why a message was marked as SPAM, gets a private answer. So this question keeps popping up, which could easily be solved by giving the answer in public. So for all those who want to know: the private answer said something like: AI is used to determine whether a post is SPAM or not. It is not flawless. However, if you get the message that it was marked as SPAM, you can push the button that it is not. Someone will then take a closer look, and may unmark your message.
