I am trying to report a problem concerning a german title of a movie in a search string and i get this error:
"The discussion you are attempting to add has the following problems:
Content is suspected to be spam"
how can i evade it?

Haha! If we shared that it would kind of defeat the purpose of the spam checking wouldn't it!?
We use a 3rd party for this and sometimes, it seems to be a little more ornery than other times. Best you can do is change around some of the text you are posting. Our system also learns over time so as you post more often (with no one reporting you as a spammer) you get checked less and less often.

ah ok. i thought there might be a flag for a user that skips the spam checking - would be a nice feature ... ;) at least after a user has earned enough trust.

I have the same problem. I am not able to generate reports or write everywhere! EDIT: Problem Solved! The only problem now is to generate a report: There was a problem trying to create your report. Try again?

I'm having this problem right now. I tried to report a bug but this spam detection just kept me away from posting.

I've been looking into why the spam checking is suddenly so much more aggressive, still not exactly sure why. It's our spam checking provider.
In any case, I made a few small tweaks that might help. Can you give it a try now?
