What causes a comment to be marked as spam?

I just tried to post a comment regarding repair of the Samsung Gear 2 Neo charging contacts and the comment got marked as spam for some reason. Not sure if it was because I had 3 hyperlinks in there (eBay, imgur and ifixit store) or what the deal was. Is the automated system being a little overzealous in tagging stuff or did I make a mistake?

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi bobkaster1!

You probably wrote a totally acceptable answer! Unfortunately we have a few spam systems in place that, while they do a good job keeping the "Real Spam" out, often catch real users up in the crossfire, which sucks!

The filter gets suspicious of links, long posts, some model numbers, and overuse of caps or @'ing people.

Are you getting a banner warning? Or an email telling you your post is marked spam?

If you want, you can try posting your comment here to see if it will work, and we can give you some more pointers?

Everything previewed OK, but as soon as I hit submit it threw up an error page saying the comment was tagged as spam. Here's what I posted (well, to the best that I can recall):

Hello,

I just had to complete this same repair. I got a replacement contact board off eBay (Charging Charger Connector With Adhesive For Samsung Gear 2 SM-R380 Neo SM-R381) and dropped it in. Hindsight being 20/20 and all I should have taken a ton of pics to go along with but oh well. I was originally planning on replacing the entire rear cover but ultimately decided on just replacing the contact board.

Anyways, a few things to note (reference pic here http://i.imgur.com/Z86H9Cw.jpg, don't mind the destroyed board in the center - I tried lifting the old one out and the PCB tore away from the contact assembly)

(had to split due to 1024 char limit)

(part 2)

1) When buying a new contact board, get the ones with the adhesive already on the gasket - it's the little blue tab in the center there. Some new covers might have the adhesive already in place so don't double stack it.

2) The easiest way to get the old contact board out is to take a flat screwdriver and press on the contacts from the outside. With a little bit of pressure the board will come up clean. The Spudger worked great for this.

3) Once all of the old adhesive is cleaned off, hold the new contact board by the little tab with some tweezers, then remove the adhesive cover and drop the new board into place. Tiny bit of pressure to set the adhesive and then you're good to go!

Hope this helps!

Okay, that looks like a good post! I think one of your links made the robot mad in this case, but try again, and you should be able to post?
