Moderator AI flagged my plumbing diagram post, had to appeal twice
Posted a detailed drain venting sketch in a plumbing forum and their auto-mod killed it for 'spam-like image content.' Turned out the AI misread the pipe layout as gibberish. I had to message a human mod directly and explain it was a real diagram from my 1960s house in Portland, took 3 days to get it restored. Anyone else fight with automated filters over legit technical drawings?
Had a buddy go through almost the same thing last year with a wiring schematic he posted for his old Ford. The bot tagged it as "low quality image" and buried it, and he was so mad he almost gave up on the forum for good. He ended up emailing a mod with pics of the actual truck and the hand drawn diagram side by side just to prove it was real. Took like four days to get it back up but now other guys with the same truck keep finding it and thanking him. The filters just can't tell the difference between a real tech drawing and junk, it's pretty dumb.
