Spam conversations?

[FuriousDee]

Okay, I'm very new here and trying to start a conversation with another user about a post of theirs. No matter what I do, I cannot send it as I get this error message saying the content can not be submitted and identifies it likely to be spam-like or inappropriate.

I'm pretty sure I'm following general rules, not being a jerk, etc. i.e. it feels like I'm behaving appropriately. Thought it might be a picture I attached but removing it didn't help. Unfortunately, the error message gives me no information on how to identify which content specifically is a problem!

Any ideas?

Thanks

From what I understand you need to hit a certain post count to use conversations I believe it’s 10-20 posts.

It could be a filter associated with the number of posts. Since you have just a couple posts it could be what's causing the issue.

Keep replying to posts and try again once you are over 10 posts.

Thanks everybody! I figured it might be something like that. I can probably find my way to the threshold...

Actually, follow-up question.

It makes sense to me that the 10-post threshold count would just be for initiating a conversation, right? Or, if they are also a newbie, would they be unable to participate at all?

Try sending a conversation to my account that I use for testing:
