Responses are being flagged as "spam like" for users with no prior posts, raising concerns about their account activity. The user is attempting to reply to someone seeking help with self-studying but encounters restrictions. Suggestions include using alternative contact methods or responding directly in the forum instead of private messages. The unusual situation of a new user engaging in private conversations without prior posts is noted. Engaging in public forum discussions may help resolve the issue.
