Can't reply to a post because my comment gets flagged as spam

I recently upgraded to Qt 6.7.2 and had some compiler issues. While looking for a solution I came across a post on this forum that described the same issue.
I later found a bug report that contained a solution to that issue and was trying to reply to the post with that information, but I keep getting an error message "Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com".Is there some kind of reputation threshold or do I need to somehow verify my account?

get my upvote and try again in a few minutes

Thanks for the reply, but my comment is still getting marked as spam.
After doing some searching, it seems that there is a reputation requirement but it's unclear how much is needed and the error message I get is not helping. -
Hi,
Did you post your code between coding tags ?
-
Yes. I tried both inline code and code blocks.
-
How long is the code that you are trying to post ?
-
It's just two lines and both have about 60 characters.

I had this issue yesterday, the reason turned out to be... repeated words. I said "very" a few times in a row and it got auto-flagged. Removing the duplication solved the issue. Maybe it will help also in your case - the reason for the flag may be completely stupid ;-)
-
So make sure your code does not have a repeated word, like
long long
;-) -
I tried to condense the message and removed as much duplicate text as I could, but I still get flagged as spam. I made sure there are no links and have only one code block.
This would be more manageable if the notification gave more information >:| -
Perhaps contact Akismet.com, so they appreciate there is an issue.
At the same time, maybe Qt could pressure Akismet.com to resolve this issue. -
Try uploading your code to https://pastebin.com/ and post the link instead

At the same time, maybe Qt could pressure Akismet.com to resolve this issue.I think it's a plugin, so the service itself isn't in direct control of this. It's probably a slightly aggressive configuration that is blocking me. I've been digging for more info and the common filter has been the reputation on the forum.

That might work, but I imagine links being filtered just like code blocks. I'll try the pastebin if I don't get this working pretty soon.

I have the same problem trying to post content to this thread: https://forum.qt.io/topic/158879/no-suitable-kits-found-no-qml-utility-installed-fedora-40-qt-6-7-2
At the same time, maybe Qt could pressure Akismet.com to resolve this issue.
It should be pretty easy to resolve this... just ignore everything that is in a code block. Spammers don't use code blocks.
