Why do you sometimes get messages and sometimes requests?

I'm still new here and don't understand why some messages don't appear in the inbox and are displayed as requests instead of it. What does that mean?

@duckduckbooze Thank, this makes the whole thing a bit clearer. But I didn't used any filters till now.

Is it possible that SW filters messages from users automatically who are suspect in some way? 🤔

@Linus Yeah, I think there's some repeat offenders that end up in that box from the get go.
