Forum malfunction?

Hi everybody!

Did anybody notice something strange happening to their forum profile?

Within a single minute I got 25 notifications/e-mails yesterday, all concerning different post of me, reading “Your post was flagged as spam: the community feels it is an advertisement, something that is overly promotional in nature instead of being useful or relevant to the topic as expected.”

About five hours later and within about four minutes all posts were restored, resulting in another 25 notifications/e-mails.

Finally, I received an notification/e-mail informing me that I have reached " Trust Level 1 – Basic", which requires entering at least 5 topics, reading at least 30 posts and spending a total of 10 minutes reading posts, figures I am well beyond since quite a time.

@Manoj: Do you have any idea what’s going on here?

One of your posts with an external link triggered a cascade flag across a number of your posts. Even some of mine as well as other user posts got flagged in this. At times the system incorrectly triggers such notifications , or a user flag starts of the flags. I have un flagged the posts and they should be visible now.

:rofl:Holy crap, so I myself was the cause? My apologies! Anyway, thank you for the quick reply!

Concerning my Trust Level: I think I was formerly counted as “Member”, could that be restored, too? Or did I crush the trust by evoking this cascade? Although it actually doesn’t really matter for now…
