Sometimes it helps to ask for the name and email address of the person who will analyze the information so that you can contact them in case you're unsure that you're giving them exactly what they require. There's a good chance that there is no such person, which makes management look as dumb as they really are for insisting that people waste their time on such nonsense. And if a name can't be provided, there's no point in providing the information, is there?

Woe is me! I've been on Codeproject for... 14 years (good grief) but admittedly only been posting messages for about 5 years I think. And yet the majority of my messages are marked for spam checking.
What is it with me? Is it the way I write?
I am a spam-likened message-leper!

I'm pretty sure it just works that way until you have a certain number of points on the site.

Maybe a wee bit trollish? Maybe?
Perhaps don't be so prolific.

He posted a couple replies in the Insider News. They weren't trollish, so it seems to just be the safeguards Chris has in place for the instances where people have started posting crap after years of inactivity.

Except this message of yours, you mean.
|
|
|
|

Yeah, except that one. 
But my another two message I posted afterwards were both spam-checked as I recall.
Ah, algorithms.

|

So...include the content of the message at the top of this thread as an extra paragraph to any new message you write...then watch the spam filter go all Nomad on itself...

I am not going to bother finding out why (I can guess). I am guilty of saying something inappropriate on occasion, but you are dealing with people that know what they are talking about (damn - that is now a subset of the users).
1. Stop and think before you respond.
2. Do not think you know more than they do.

Nah, humour aside for a moment that's not it. I think you might have guessed wrong.
For the avoidance of doubt, my messages aren't being deleted or complained about (well, as far as I know!). It's just that they are very often automatically marked for (manual?) spam checking. After they've been checked (by a human, I presume?) then they are passed as safe for viewing.
I was merely being mildly humorous in my OP.

That's OK for you, but since I absolutely 100% always not only know more but know better, I have to respond accordingly.
It's a burden I must bear - a sort of noblesse oblige.

From time to time the filters get angry with a user.
Blame the algorithm or the possible bad feeding when reporting spam.
You are not the first and I guess you won't be the last.
It is something temporary, things will get better soon.

I reported this as spam just to get on the good side of the machine

The spam filters adapt as the spam comes in. It's nothing personal, but each message of yours that is marked non-spam lessens the likelihood of future messages written in the same vein as being marked as spam.

Unless his previous posts included “knock knock” and “who’s there?” I think you have the wrong response!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.
