SPAM?
« on: 16 January 2011, 23:46:55 »
I can't reply to a post now. I've had two goes & another will result in me getting banned as a spammer. Fine ban me then. I won't come running back this time. I hav'nt sworn, insulted or threatened anyone. I'm certainly not a spammer, i would'nt know where to start. If i decide to speak out against a member who'se out of order then why should'nt i?
   No admin pms please let's deal with whatever it is for all to see, i've nothing to hide. Guy.

Hey, Guy. Don't worry. This won't be anything deliberate. It sounds like the forum software thinks it's found something suspicious so it'll be a technical glitch somewhere, I'm sure. :y

Never seen the Matrix Andy!!! I hope that's all it was but he mentioned Debs & Skruntie. No need for that was there?

Think we're ok now mate, seemed to be a glitch. I am still however very unhappy with a certain member who fortunately does'nt post much,. After having a general pop at most of us he named Debs & Skrunties posts as banal drivel. Being as he does'nt post much & looks down on the rest of us i'd be happy if he crawled back to where he evolved from & continued not to post very often.
    No need to insult members who are friends when they had'nt spoken on the rare post he graced us with. I wish i possessed thier dignity in not reacting but i sadly don't. Guy.

Amigo - sounds like you hit the automatic spam filter, nothing sinister :)

Whilst it has no hard and fast rules, the software tries to determine the likelihood of a post being a random post from an automated robot trying to lure members into either visiting dodgy sites or promting non related goods etc.

Like all technology (esp those where technology tries to make a judgement!), its far from perfect, and we do tweak it from time to time - sometimes this makes it more aggressive, sometimes it makes it next to useless ;D


So trust me, nothing sinister, its just the computer getting it wrong...  ...unless its part of the computer's plan for world domination ;D
