| Jun 15, 2015 at 8:50 | comment | added | Ian Last | @Andrew T Got it, reason I ask is because I have to try multiple times when logging into any stack site and I read it has to do with IP switching (guessing it's my VPN). Can't say for sure but I feel like I must have tried re-logging to post. I definitely tried posting multiple times in same session and if IP switches so much that every log in is an issue and I couldn't post because of (maybe) IP then they must be keeping 1 address for the session (if that makes sense). Interested in an official response too | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 8:38 | comment | added | Meta Andrew T. | This one, I can't say since I'm not the developer. It could be possible, since spammers are also trying to avoid block with changing IP, but that's only my theory. Looking forward for answer from official. | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 8:32 | comment | added | Ian Last | @Andrew T. "IP in range of known spammer" is that something I should be concerned about? Even if your IP constantly changes does the site keep the one you logged in as for the entire session? | |
| Jun 15, 2015 at 8:11 | comment | added | Meta Andrew T. | Well, what. I just tried posting your question on there and it got posted (self-deleted, 2k+ only). It seems your IP is somehow inside range of known spammer... and I see that you have successfully posted your question, albeit very different. | |

| Jun 14, 2015 at 8:00 | comment | added | Ian Last | @Shadow Wizard Unfortunately I'm still stuck on my phone so I guess it's a mystery for now. I'm going to edit the question via Robert Longston's suggestion. If you can I'd appreciate if you could review the edit for compliance. | |
| Jun 14, 2015 at 7:28 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Well, as the answer by Robert says, the question is not good fit for Stack Exchange site, but can't see any reason why it's detected as spam. Hopefully a shorter, simpler, question, will pass through. | |

| Jun 14, 2015 at 7:11 | comment | added | Ian Last | @Shadow Wizard It was an attempt at humour to note the length of the post. As I mentioned to ChrisF I tried reposting after removing that format and it didn't make a difference so I put the original here. I may have been able to make the question more concise but it's a complex legal one and I presented it in a way I felt was inclusive of the whole situation. I'll try ip switching since that's the onky lead Inhave at this point. | |
| Jun 14, 2015 at 6:26 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Why do you have two "The End"? Why all those dots? If it's part of your real question it's really poor writing, consider rewording and try again. Also, better get to the point sooner, without going around in circles. | |

| Jun 13, 2015 at 23:27 | comment | added | Ian Last | @Shadow Wizard By the way everytime I have to try to login a couple times because of 'suspicious request' warning. Thought it might be an indicator because i heard that was an ip address issue as well | |
| Jun 13, 2015 at 23:16 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | No, length shouldn't be any indication for spam. Another option is your IP address is being black listed due to massive spam coming from it, if you can try using different IP address it can prove/disprove this. | |
| Jun 13, 2015 at 23:11 | comment | added | Ian Last | @Shadow Wizard Yeah it doesn't have any links, would the length of the post have anything to do with it? We're talking 5-6 paragraphs here. | |
| Jun 13, 2015 at 23:03 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | Make sure it has no links, to begin with. If it goes through, try editing the links into it later. | |
