Post marked as spam while it's not

Question
-
Today I posted a possible bug/issue about the Bing Maps documentation. Now I get a notification that my post has been flagged as spam. Post: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/46cb82b5-325e-414f-b4d9-ecae1ff8a24b/possible-error-bing-maps-tile-system-sample-code?forum=bingmaps
My intention was to notify MS about a possible error in their documentation, or to get info about what I've done wrong in my code.
I'm curious how/why my post got flagged, so I can prevent this from happening again in the future.

Lately this happens when really you just need to have your account verified. You need to post a request in the current verification thread here:
Edit: Also, the post you linked is not flagged as spam.

Funny... when I tried to edit my post, I got the message it was flagged as spam and the changes I made to the post were not saved.
But thank you for the response... I will get my account verified.

You are not alone. We see one or two similar posts per day. The message you get is very confusing. The purpose of account verification is to cut down on spammers, and we do get a lot less spam than in the past. But the message is very poorly written.

I am wondering why the forums team still didn't address this problem.
