Hi,

I just posted a perfectly valid message in this forum (related to Squid certificates managed by Ansible). I was told that it was flagged as spam and hidden by Akismet.

This is the second time this is happening. Please deactivate this nonsense, which makes this forum unusable.

Thanks & cheers,

Niki

Flagged posts are usually reviewed by a human. I saw one of yours just now and approved it. I don’t know the magic behind why that was flagged, other than the link it included. The prior post was deleted already. I’m unsure how to ‘undelete’ it. Is it asking the same set of questions, or is it a different discussion?
