Why was my post flagged as spam?

Hi there

I made a post Bootlegger Coffee Co - Bitcoin

My intention with this post was to provide the community with a heads up as to some updates I made to OSM in case there was some context needed.

If this is not necessary please let me know, I’m trying to be as useful as possible as a cotributor.

Regards

“Why was my post flagged as spam?”

…probably for self-promotion? :upside_down_face:

Your post didn’t have any questions or context about why you were posting and wasn’t related to OpenStreetMap, so it looked like self-promotion and a spam link to a commercial website.

If you’re trying to add context to your edits in OpenStreetMap, use changeset comments and participate in any discussion that might happen on your changesets.

Ok thanks, that makes sense. Is there somewhere I can read more about what “changeset” comments are?
