Why is it that every time I add a comment or attempt to answer a Question it is deemed "spam"

I am brand new to DO. I have now tried 3 times to add a comment or answer my own question, and your spam bots flashes up a big pink notice saying what I am doing is spam. Nothing friendly, or advisory, just bang - blocked. I am logged in. What in the heck is going on? In my years of experience, I have never had a community site behave like this.
