Return to Question

I have a complex issue. It is a rare issue and has been plaguing me for several years.

Therefore, it needs explaining.

Therefore, it's long - 7237 characters produced over two hours of constant typing.

When I try to submit, I get "This looks like spam" error.

I had a single link, which was important to provide additional context. Since spam usually has links, I removed the link, but I got "This looks like spam".

Is there any way I can submit it (ie. for moderator approval) without magically gaining/grinding/earning through association bonus X reputation points? If yes, is there a way to do so in a way I can still get reputation from it, so I can prove I am a human and not be hit with something similar the next time I have a complex issue?

EDIT: ardaozkal suggests there should be a captcha when I try to submit - unfortunately, there is no captcha, only Your question couldn't be submitted. Please see the error above. message.

EDIT 2: Here's the post: http://pastebin.com/CdAM1Mpk (the line PUT INTO THE TITLE: Overriding mouse drivers to enable left-handed button layout is a reminder to put a correct title and it doesn't go in the final post, of course). NB that this post also triggered Pastebin's anti-spam filters, but there was a captcha there and I managed to submit it.

EDIT 3: I trimmed the post down to 3668 characters, removed sections with all-caps and game titles, and it made it through.

I am happy and grateful for all the help I received from commenters. (Once again, thank you!)

However, the original question - ie. what to do when your post is blocked with spam filter - remains unanswered (not counting the implicit "ask people on Meta about it", heh).

I still haven't received any e-mail from the Help Center (it's been only two days), but I will edit the question when I receive the response.
