Someone just posted a reply in that discussion with a Q...B... support number in an image...

At the moment around about 70% of the spam we get in the excel community is regarding quickbooks and people posting support numbers for quickbooks. For this reason we took the unusual step to ban the product name. We do not routinely ban any product name on the Microsoft Tech Community but we do take a very dim view of posts that either seek to mislead our customers or are blatant spam.
We keep all such content filters under review and may remove quickbooks in the future. Obviously, we don't share details on which names are banned but it is something we keep under review.Allen , I see, thank you. Let keep as it is, we always may find workaround if necessary.
You may need to add some variations to the list.
