    Since about 24 hours ago every time I try to edit a post or reply to a post, it gets flagged as spam

    "Error

    Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com"

    Why is that and what can I do to fix it?

      Stop posting Spam?

      ;)

      Seriously though, is it only on edits and replies?

        Do your flagged posts contain links to external sites? That is sometimes a shortcut for spam detection. Akismet crowdsources spam details, so if you have posted to some other site and that content was marked as spam, it may be sensitive to your username, the text you are using, a signature/sign-off, etc.

          I think I figured it out, apparently it doesn't like me pasting the XML tags I'm fighting in this theme I'm working with.

            @wildwolfofmibu Try using the code blocks to surround your XML content, like this

            <file id="1000cuts1a" type="2" rating="">
            	<author>Simon "sock" OCallaghan</author>
            	<title>One Thousand Cuts</title>
            	<md5sum>8e03d6c9202136c89d99707ab97a1020</md5sum>
            	<size>10396</size>
            	<date>15.08.14</date>
            	<description><![CDATA[sock's map from <a href="func_mapjam2.html">Func Map Jam 2</a> as standalone version.]]></description>
            	<techinfo>
            		<zipbasedir>1000cuts/</zipbasedir>
            		<commandline>-game 1000cuts</commandline>
            		<startmap>start</startmap>
            	</techinfo>
            </file>
            

            See http://commonmark.org/help/ for the syntax.
