Got flagged as a bot for posting my own repair photos
Last month I posted a question about a condenser fan motor in a local FB group and attached three photos of the unit. Within 10 minutes my account was locked and labeled as spam, no human review. Turns out the group's bot flagged me because I posted the same image links twice in a week, even though they were different angles. I appealed three times and finally got through to a mod who unlocked me, but it took 4 days. Has anyone else been frozen out of a forum just for using common image hosts?

Used to think those auto flags were mostly fine until I got locked out for a week over basically the same thing, now I get why people hate them. That 4 day wait just to talk to a human is absolutely brutal.
