Spam is unacceptable on this forum, if you are not sure what you are about to post is SPAM then ask one of the moderators or administrators. Spamming includes SPAM in your user profile and chat messages. Some non exhaustive examples of what we consider SPAM- Off-topic posts with links to external websites. We have an "off topic" category and discussing off topic matters there is fine, just don't use that as an excuse to link out to stuff in order to drive traffic there.
- Links in user profiles to commercial websites. The exception to that is Duet resellers and OEMs. Hobby or personal websites are normally ok for active users. If you register, do not engage on the forum and have a link in your profile you will potentially fall foul of the SPAM filters.
- Descriptions in profiles that are spam or SEO related
- Posts or links to products/service websites, that while may be 3d printing/cnc etc related (and so not necessarily off topic) are clearly there to drive traffic to that website and not for discussion. The exceptions to this are Duet3D resellers or OEMs. If in doubt, ask.

Please also keep flagging spam posts or profiles when you see them in case they are missed by an administrator.
How?

not sure if I am Jupiter...
It might be because my account is an admin account can you see if you have an option on a "normal" user account?
-
@T3P3Tony, yes there is a 'flag this post' option in normal accounts/

Yes, as an admin, your jovi menu has 10 options, whereas I have 5 entries in the menu on my own posts, including "Flag this post". However, on your posts, I just can "Bookmark" and "Copy Permalink" - so no "Flag" option for bovi
Luckily, I found out that I can flag postings of mere mortals like @jens55 - sorry Jens, don't panic

@infiniteloop eeeeiiiiiiiiiiii ....

@T3P3Tony Hi I am a new user and have registered account. I tried to post a new topic and it went to spam. How do I proceed to letting me post to the forum.
-
@Willo47 yeah the system can be a bit oversensitive. a few of us have upvotes this post that should help. also if you avoid links in your first post or two that helps.
-
@T3P3Tony It's even more strange because the account isn't new and has several posts already.
