"This looks like spam"

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.

Answer 1

A proven solution to having your question blocked by spam filter is:

• make a post on meta and have meta regulars help you.

However, if you don't have enough reputation to do that, you can do the following:

1. paste the content of your question into an online copy-paste service, like Pastebin,
2. log in to SuperUser,
3. navigate to Help Center page, which currently is behind a contact us link should be at the bottom of the page,
4. fill in the form by pasting the link from step 1. and explaining that your question is blocked by spam filter.

The Help Center should eventually respond and give you advice on how to modify your post to bypass the filter, and possibly on how to improve general question quality.

(In my case, spam filter was activated by overuse of two rather innocuous word. I was also told to try and reduce the length of the post "a bit".)
