I was sending a long, detailed message to the creator of a plugin. The message contained details that I did not want to publicly share in the forum. After thoughtfully writing this message, ensuring it was clear and well thought-out, I receive an error stating that my message is “Spam-Like.” It should be noted, I spent probably 15 minutes writing this message. A spammer is likely either scripting their behavior, or is copy/pasting.
This is terrible. If necessary, show a “prove you’re human” box. Make messages flaggable as spam, and punish recurring spammers. But don’t punish people who have no track record of spam for writing long messages.
