Spam vs. Not Spam
What is considered spam in the community? Spam is content that is irrelevant, repetitive, misleading, or unsolicited, often posted to promote products, services, or external links. Spam posts may include: Fake or commercial advertising Suspicious or unsafe links Repeated posts or replies across multiple discussions Content generated solely to drive engagement (likes, clicks, replies) Messages that do not attempt to answer or contribute meaningfully to the topic What is not considered spam? A post is not spam if it is: A genuine question or reply related to the topic Not promoting unsafe, repetitive, or unsolicited content Sharing personal experience without commercial intent Written with the goal of contributing to the discussion Even if a message is short, off-topic, or incorrectly formatted, it is not spam unless it meets the criteria above. Why was my post marked as spam? What criteria are used? Posts are flagged as spam by moderators or community admins based on signals such as: High volume of similar content Use of suspicious or blocked URLs Mass posting patterns in short timeframes Commercial or deceptive language intent Community guidelines violations If your post was marked as spam, it likely triggered one or more of these filters to keep the community safe and relevant. I want to fix a post that was marked as spam. What should I do? If you believe your content was incorrectly flagged, you can improve it by following these steps: Remove promotional or suspicious links from the content. Rewrite your post so it clearly relates to the discussion topic. Avoid copying/pasting the same message multiple times across threads. Make sure the post adds meaningful value (technical detail, personal insight, or a real question). Delete the original spam-flagged post and publish the revised version, if allowed. A rewritten post that follows community guidelines is far less likely to be flagged.4Views0likesHow does the Altera Community work?

An Accepted Solutions is a way for you to choose the reply that best answers a question that you've posted. When you accept a solution, both the question and the solution get special icons and links that take you directly from the question to the answer. An Accepted Solutions icon also appears on boards and in search results so you can see which messages have solutions. You can mark a solution as accepted only for questions that you've posted (you started the thread). Community moderators can also mark one of the replies to a message as an accepted solution.12Views0likesWhat are Kudos?
Kudos is a content rating system that lets you vote for the messages you think are the most useful or important. When you give kudos to a message, you are giving a thumbs-up for good content and a pat on the back to its author. Your kudos help to boost the value of certain messages and enhance the reputation of their authors. Giving kudos is as easy as a single click, but the impact of kudos ripples across the community.9Views0likesWhat is Kudos weight?
Your kudos weight is the number of kudos you give each time you click the thumbs up icon. If you're new to the community, your kudos weight is probably 1 (each kudo counts as 1). More experienced community members might have a higher kudos weight, so they could give two kudos, ten kudos, or more each time they click.15Views0likesWhy can’t I give Kudos to some messages?
There are a few reasons why you might not be able to give Kudos to a post. You’ve already liked that message. You wrote the message. The community manager has restricted or turned Kudos off for a message or forum. Where did the Kudos number go? Messages with many Kudos may show a Hot Like icon instead of the count.10Views0likes
