editing posts detected as spam

About 2/3 of the time if I try to edit my post (usually to fix typos as I am dyslexic) I get the following alert which prevents me doing so.

ERROR
Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com

You need some more reputation points to get around the SPAM flags...so I gave you one more. ;-)

+1

With 5 Reps now it should be fixed, or was it 10?

It should be 5.

Unfortunately I just ran into this as well. Tried to add one character I missed in the script in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/132560/update-ssl-certificate-from-command-line/19 , but that's enough to trigger the spam error...

I liked your post to hopefully get you to stop been checked. :)

I still can't post, and the forum fails to tell me what characters it doesn't like. Even surrounding with code tags fails. Lovely that we can't post code to a codey forum.

Who had the brilliant idea for this filter??

it was necessary to prevent spam, and i think it's working fine on that job, just ask for +1 until you have 5

@kiokoman Thanks. I did find https://hastebin.com, which allows me to just paste anything and share. Even a little app to pipe cli output.

Hi all, I also met this when editing my post to correct one of the statements:

Before was:
"ntopng issue? For it is working on port 3000 if it is functioning as normal."
I got the spam notice when I cut it to
"ntopng issue? For it is working on port 3000."
