Why was my post marked as spam?

Question
-
I just tried to post the message below into the Hyper-V forum, and it was marked as Spam. The forum told me to post the message here if I feel it was marked as spam in error (it was), but it won't let me post it here either! These forums are so frustrating. So now what Microsoft?

We cannot tell, only a moderator in that forum can see the reasons for deleted posts. Most likely something triggered a spam filter. I'd send an email to fissue [at] microsoft [dot] com and they can investigate and or restore it.

I found your deleted post in this forum and saw that it was deleted by the spam filter. I see nothing wrong with the post. I can only guess why it was flagged. I just removed the abusive flag and undeleted it.
I would send an email to fissues [at] microsoft [dot] com, as Dave suggested, with a link to the undeleted post, and a link to the forum where you posted the question. I am not a moderator there.
Edit: Is this the forum where you posted?

Perhaps I can move the post I undeleted to where it belongs. Or you can wait for the forum admins, or a moderator, to restore your original post. I assume the spam filter won't delete a post I restored, but I cannot be sure (will be interesting to find out).
