Edited Post content was flagged as spam

Re: Cannot post because of spam detection
I’m a new user here. I just create my first post and it was approved. When I tried to edit it I got the ‘… flagged as spam…’ message. I tried the suggested workaround but no joy.
Any other suggestions?

You will need to be more specific. What did the workaround suggest you try that you did actually try? Just describe it in words.

The Akismet filter is sometimes overly aggressive. What I do when I see that warning is I cut out a portion of my post, submit the post, then edit and paste back in and re-submit, and it generally works.
specifically, you were referencing this post, where I suggested that.
But, as I tried to indicate with “generally”, that doesn’t always work.
But usually, Akismet only triggers if you’re super-long, or have URLs, and I haven’t seen it trigger much in the last few years, especially now that we have the post-queue.
If you have additional information you want to add, can you just include it in a reply, without trying to edit the original?

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I understood that inference. I was hoping there was additional tweaks to try. Yes, I could do a reply. It was triggered on a very minor edit. Maybe the site support would be interested in the issue. But it’s not important to me now.
