A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Have you ever had normal Instagram comments strangely removed for spam? (alien.top)

Instagram removed several of my comments for spam in the last two weeks.

None of my comments were spam based on my common sense and IG's definition of spam. I left them on posts from accounts I have a long history of following.

Here is an example (not exact) of one of the removed comments:

"Awesome, I love this look. I have not tried that paper yet, but this is motivating to get to it."

Have any of you ever had a similar experience?

I wonder if I should be concerned about a problem with my page. So far, my "Account Status" is all green in the settings.

I have not dabbled in the dark arts.

Yes. I got suspended for a week for replying to a Turkish post in Turkish. I used google translate, as I don’t speak Turkish. The contents of the comment were soooo vanilla. Something like, “great photo, how do you like that camera?”

So fucking weird.

They can remove comments. So why can’t I block the porn spammers sending messages?
