The Inhuman Touch, A Rant
-
Rant On... I just posted a press release to the site and received an automated message that it was queued for review because it might be spam. According to the directions on the press release page
A press release must be written for the purpose of announcing something newsworthy. Advertisements, promotions, or anything smelling even vaguely of spam will be deleted.
Fair enough. Until you remember that the definition of press release is
A public relations announcement issued to the news media and other targeted publications for the purpose of letting the public know of company developments.
Thanks, post-bot. Now you've got me curious about what keywords trigger the flag and how to avoid them in future. :-D ...Rant Off

Ssh - no one really knows - it's a secret designed to bamboozle and frustrate everyone. You can post something designed to offend and it sails through; post something about a cat and it gets blocked. Dumb.

Your messages got stuck in the spam queue for reviewing. I approved one of them on the basis that it was posted in the Press releases forum, but someone else must have nuked your other message while I was reading it.

Quite a lot of them actually. It raises the question on whether the press releases forum should be excluded from the spam filter, or at least have another threshold.

Thanks for freeing it. I did a 2nd post after the 1st because there was no immediate feedback on what happened. I emailed webmaster and asked them to delete one and they must have done so.
