Is it just me, or is everyone here suspected of being a spammer?
-
I've been on CP for 12.5 years now. And yet, almost every single comment I post is "held for moderation" because it is suspected of being spam. Fine, but why? Is it just me? Don't you think in 13 years if I was a spammer it would have been known by now? Just asking.

It's not you specifically - I've was caught quite a few times until Chris changed the rules. The scanner is heuristic, and as it learns it does pick up false positives but it should learn to ignore them after a while. It doesn't normally take us long to moderate a message as spam or not spam so it shouldn't be too bad. And unfortunately, we can't assume that because someone has been here a good number of years that they won't decide to post spam. People start companies, get new jobs, write a blog, all of that - and that can trigger them to start spamming here. Trust me, you don't want to see the site without the anti-spam - sometimes it was impossible to see anything but the cr@p they posted... :sigh:
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I keep trying to post a list of the words that cause the blocking, but it NEVER goes through? :-)

My feelings, exactly. I am member number 14657 and mother still needs to confirm my every post.

They say ev’rything can be replaced Yet ev’ry distance is not near So I remember ev’ry face Of ev’ry man who put me here I see my light come shining From the west unto the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released...
