Sorry, missed this post.
It's due to a temporary rule that was added in relation to the sex bots. I'll adjust the rule today.
They have some Regular Expression or other automated rules that can remove posts or ban users. It can rarely be good in case of a serial spammer, but generally I've seen it ban Kiwi links, or what are arguably innocuous appearing posts that may trigger a rule due to key words or other heuristics in case of links.
As a bot named "GlobalFilter" that performs its namesake, it's not really subtle or deceptive in any shape, but I would prefer it banned so our community can enact our preferred rules...and avoid false positives.
Tell me more, wth is that Global Filter? I've seen it remove a diverse panoply of posts and comments.
It's a cross-WIN platform filter that removes comments. I don't know if it's ever been documented somewhere, but I did see the admins respond here - https://communities.win/c/Meta/p/141EiMCCpi/why-does-globalfilter-remove-the/c
