Editing a post marked as spam? RRS feed

    Hi there,

    I made a post to the Configuration Manager (Current Branch) – Security, Updates and Compliance forums, and originally I think it went through. I have the Grammarly extension on my browser and apparently that accidentally injected some HTML  into the post so I attempted to go through and delete that out after disabling the extension so it was readable.

    Unfortunately, when I tried to edit it, I was getting messages that it had been marked as spam. No problem, I'll just delete it, and recreate it. Nope, now I can't post at all... and I no longer have a copy of my deleted thread as I accidentally copied over it. Hopefully you guys can verify me and restore it?

    Thanks!

    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:

    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dc4002e4-e3de-4b1e-9a97-3702387886cc/verify-account-42?forum=reportabug

    The current verification thread periodically changes, but is always a sticky thread at the top of this forum:

    https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=reportabug

    Edit: Your post got deleted. I guess you deleted it. I also see you posted a request in the thread I linked already. The forum admins process the requests twice a week, so be patient.

    Regarding Grammarly, it adds unsupported html to the text of messages, making them difficult to read. Best to not use it in the forums.

    I appreciate the response but that doesn't resolve my issue of the deleted post. Can that be recovered? If you look in that thread I already requested verification.

    Thank you. I submitted my request already. Unfortunately the thread with the formatting issues got restored and I still am unable to edit it, so I'll just post on it with the fixed text.

    The issue is caused by the browser add-in grammerly. It adds unwanted / invalid html to the forum editor. Try posting with the add-in disabled.

    Yep I have already disabled it, but that text is still in my original post and I am unable to edit it as every time I try I am told it's being marked as spam.

    I'd probably delete the thread and repost. The "marked spam" messages are misleading but are caused by new account not yet verified.

    Haha yeah, that's what got me into this predicament. I attempted to do that, but when I attempted a new post I was told it was spam and it never showed up. Then I had no copy of what I had done as I deleted the old one.

    May have to wait for verification if you can no longer post in forum.
