Why are my non-English posts being tagged with "noindex"? Looking for help! 🧐

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m reaching out to the community (and hopefully some team members or moderators) because I’ve noticed a frustrating issue with my recent posts.

I write technical articles in Italian, sharing guides and insights for the local dev community. However, I noticed that my posts are automatically getting flagged with no-index and no-follow tags.

I suspect this might be due to an overzealous automated anti-spam filter triggered by a combination of two factors:

Writing in a non-English language (Italian).

Including legitimate external links (like official documentation or relevant project references).

I completely understand the need to fight spam and sketchy link-building practices, but it’s a bit discouraging to see genuine community-driven content hidden from search engines. My profile is fully filled out, and I'm just trying to contribute here.

Has anyone else writing in languages other than English experienced this? Is there a way to get my account or posts whitelisted/manually reviewed by the Dev.to staff?

Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
