Looks legitimate to me. Writing well AND doing an edit to correct spelling errors is one reason that I wouldn't flag it as anything nefarious, particularly as linked to Schlimmshady's website.
Nefariously yours,

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

So that's it? No review process? No suspended status while the account is given a chance to explain? What kind of operation do you run here? This was my account that was erroneously removed. Did anyone even read my posts, or can any overzealous community member who doesn't spend the time to investigate get someone kicked off at any moment? Please tell me what is wrong with my post(s), what policy I violated! True, I have only posted 2 - 3 times since joining. Is infrequent usage against the rules? The comments that I have posted have been detailed and helpful, and have not had any negative language or innuendo. Yes, two of the posts contained links to information sites that I created. But, I did disclose that they were my sites, and they are just info, not selling or stealing anything. One site is my blog and one is just subject-specific info. How does any of this even come close to qualifying as spam? Or even undesirable?
Please undo my account removal, or at least have the decency to justify the removal. If the issue is the links to my info sites then I can remove those, though they are perfectly valid, non-harmful, non-deceptive destinations, so I can't imagine that they are the real problem.
This situation is certainly not making me feel like I missed anything for spending most of my time on StackExchange sites (and a few others) instead of here.
Thanks,
Solomon..
P.S. Regarding the stated criteria for flagging my comment as spam being that I was replying to a comment from 2014: Are you seriously penalizing me for being the first person in 7 years to a) understand the problem, and b) care enough to spend the time to share my knowledge of the issue with others? Is this site a joke?

The account was gone when I looked, and I merely posted as such. The short time frame to account closure suggests a site admin or the like nuked the account. Unfortunately some mistakes may be made as everyone here is human, but the vast majority of spam posts are accurate. If you believe the account closure is unwarranted maybe @sean-ewington might review what transpired and reactivate the account.

He wasn't... I was the one reporting your message.

Trying to divert traffic to the own site to generate clicks and maybe revenue. There is a huge amount of people doing that, it is called "site driving" and it usually is not allowed.

That's exactly the usual pattern of the people trying to take profit from the site. They create a post in their blog (sometimes just a copy of other place's content, so add plagiarism to the list), come here search for more or less related topics with a couple of keywords and start posting messages like "this is due to XXX, for more information visit [my-link]".
Quote: Are you seriously penalizing me for being the first person in 7 years to a) understand the problem, and b) care enough to spend the time to share my knowledge of the issue with others? Is this site a joke? That's the problem, usually the people don't do it for "sharing the knowledge" the goal is to divert the traffic with a minimal text as a click bait.
You message was giving some technical content, yes. But the "more info in [Link]" was too similar to the usual pattern. That's why I flagged it.
Member 15358241 wrote: Is this site a joke? No, it isn't. And that's exactly the main reason why we, users that care about the site, try to keep it clean of spam, abuse and people trying to bend the rules to their own profit. I am just a volunteer that offers his spare time to help (same as you, but in other direction). As a normal person I am no infalible and can have errors.
I might have judged the message wrongly and I apologize for possible inconveniences. @Sean-Ewington or @Chris-Maunder will have a look and reactivate your account if they see it as my error too.
