    For a thread I opened administrative command prompt and typed systeminfo.

    Copy and pasting the information was interpreted as SPAM.

    The system info was divided into portions.

    This portion triggers the SPAM:

    Original Install Date:     6/13/2018, 2:20:58 AM
    System Boot Time:          8/2/2018, 6:12:37 PM
    System Manufacturer:       Hewlett-Packard
    System Model:              HP ZBook 17 G2
    System Type:               x64-based PC
    Processor(s):              1 Processor(s) Installed.
                               [01]: Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel ~2801 Mhz

    Please fix the technet website so that the results of administrative command prompt systeminfo does not trigger spam.

    For the spam problem I was planning to use one drive or drop box share links but this take more time and both cloud sizes are at the maximum.  So I would need to get more cloud storage or remove files that are already there.  There are many files that can be removed from one drive or drop box but this will take time too.

    For the posts directly into TechNet are you suggesting that the copy and paste be made to notepad first and then copy and paste from notepad?  Was the systeminfo output not considered txt?  I did not understand the definition of a pure txt file.  Please explain.

    Thank you for reporting the issue.

    Many OP do not post information about their computers and a system info post may come in handy to get the needed information.

    Again thx.

    Hi,

    >> For the posts directly into TechNet are you suggesting that ...

    No!

    My suggestion was to use text file in external place and give us the link. NOT to posts directly into TechNet, if the content is recognize as spam, exactly as you said use one drive or drop box.

    Anyhow, I reported this issue, but it is not something that will be done anytime soon probably, even if they choose to change something and no one said that they will agree with my recommendation ;-)

    In the meantime as we both said, simply use one drive or drop box or any external place and in the forum give the link to watch the content of the code or to download the code as text file from the external hosting.

    Sorry for the late reply. In my post I suggested emailing

    fissues [at] Microsoft [dot] com

    The fissues is short for forum issues (I assume). Ronen may have already contacted them, but I think it would still be worthwhile to email them. This seems to clearly be a bug in the spam filter that should be corrected. I have no idea why my test in the Sandbox forum was not flagged as spam. I may have deleted the post too soon.

    How did you paste the command output into a post. Did you redirect the SystemInfo output to a text file, then copy and past the file contents? And why is this post not flagged as spam?

    Before the post I ran the following commands in administrative command prompt:

    1) sfc /scannow

    2) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    3) chkdsk /scan

    4) systeminfo

    The commands and results were then posted into the thread.

    Many many times it displayed the SPAM message.

    Then there were approximately 10 to 15 more attempts posting the same output in portions.

    Each time the edit method was used adding and removing portions.

    The remaining portion was not able to be posted without the SPAM problem.

    There were other parts to the post that were not systeminfo that never displayed spam.

    So somehow the systeminfo output from administrative command prompt appears to trigger the SPAM message.


    Immediately below this post (no edit) I attempted to post only the output from systeminfo again and it displayed SPAM.

    So the problem is reproducible.

    So you copied directly from the command prompt and pasted into a post. I ran SystemInfo in a command prompt, highlighted the output, copied to the clipboard, and pasted into a Sandbox forum post. It was not flagged as spam.

    I can see your deleted reply, Marked Abusive by Reply Auto Spam Filter. I don't know what triggers this in your output.

    I would email fissues [at] Microsoft [dot] com, with a link to this thread. The forum admins at that email should look into this.

    In the above it displayed fissues and I wanted to make sure that it was or was not fissues instead of issues.

    This was the original thread in which I wanted to post the administrative command prompt systeminfo.  In the thread I had to remove a portion of the system info to not have the SPAM.

    Good day ?!?

    * I hate that I cannot even use a name when I say "good day" :-(

    I can see your test on this forum. And I can see the content which was marked as spam and led to automatically delete your message.

    First, I will "Undelete" it so people could see the test that led to the issue and take part in the discussion. At this time only Moderators can see the deleted message.

    Secondly, unfortunately you are right. I tested your content in out Moderator testing forum (PLEASE DO NOT TEST IN PUBLIC FORUM) and my message was marked as spam and was deleted automatically. I next tested the same content inside a block of code (using the built-in  "insert code block" button) and this did not help.

    Since this is technical forum to discuss issue related to code I would call it a BUG :-)

    I will report the issue to the development team of the forum.

    In the mean time, in cases like this, you can upload the code as text file and add a link to the text file, so people will be able to download it. PLEASE USE ONLY PURE TXT FILES.
