Did something happen to my account here (like an infraction I don't know about)? Why I ask is because I posted a few posts here and I got this message a few times.

So is there any reason I have received this warning?

In any specific sub-forum or everywhere?

I don't think so. There was a forum upgrade last night with some new anti-spam measures, we're still trying to figure our way around them.

With that said, you had replied to a post about a man losing his finger when he was mugged for an iPad. That post was from a spammer and I think the forum software may have flagged that person and may have kept your reply moderated for some reason.

Send me a PM if you encounter this issue any further so that I can track and report the issue as necessary.

In the future, you should probably just PM a moderator/admin rather than create a forum post since this is a private matter

I just got that same message when I replied to a thread that I had started about CD/DVD burning software. The only thing I can think of why my post got flagged was because I mentioned a commercial product (Denon) 3 times.

Just got the same WARNING and after a bit of testing it seems it is because i posted a Link - one that i have used before but it leads to the dangerous mac-forums site.

I just got the warning as well...8:40pm EDT.

The only things that I'm guessing could have triggered something was the word "Windows" a couple times...and I linked two Mac-Forums "Sticky" threads.

This has to be a bug with the new update that was installed a couple of days ago. Keep letting us know of any issues you find so we can report them.

Having tried to post 2 times with a Link included - they disappear and don't get approved it seems. Another little Gem lost to the world
