What to do if your thread is automatically hidden

[Paint_Ninja]

As part of stricter anti-spam measures, new posts that have large amounts of content similar to many other posts are automatically hidden. You'll know this because your entire post will be highlighted in red and only visible to you.

Unfortunately, this means dumping crash reports or logs directly in your support thread will trigger it. To avoid this, please read the FAQ before posting and provide a link to your log or crash report on an external paste site (such as pastebin) instead.

If your thread is automatically hidden, you'll need to create a new one or wait for a moderator to manually approve it and remove the log from your post. When creating a new thread, make sure you only provide a link to an external paste site and do not dump logs directly in your post again as doing so could risk your account getting banned.

Make it clearer what you should do when hidden

pastebin is not recommended - larger logs or crashes often get removed with the "pending moderation/set to private" message

 

And is there no way to focus the stricter anti-spam feature to the actual spam problem around dubai/callcenter/phonenumber-spam-threads?

We have, but its always a cat/mouse game. And the spam prevention service the forum is using is failing horribly. We're doing the best we can. And pastebin was just an example. You can use any common text hosting site.
