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

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.

This is incredible. I write a detailed post and get this error as well. This is so frustrating. And apparantly no solutions have been found since last year? I mean you can't post code blocks in Qt forum?

@linuxguy123 they will start to once they realize the code blocks is not checked.

It's hilarious, when you go to Akismet.com their front page is flaunting that their spam filter is accurate 99.99% of the time. Wow, we must all be the 0.01%
