Everyday for the last week I have found comments in the spam filter which I have had to manually approve. Most of these I find no reason for why the ‘system’ rejected them.
The spam filter is set up to flag the most serious 4 letter words–not all, but the worst of them.
Additionally it is set to ‘kick out’ anything from one particular commenter who I banned at least 18 months ago (the only person ever banned).
So if a comment section is not taking your comment, don’t take it as a ‘ban’ or anything like that–likely the spam filter didn’t like something. When you end up in the spam filer it temporary stops you from posting until I get it manually approved and then you can post.
I will try to figure out what setting I have control over that will stop this seeming random kickouts.
Tim – I’m pretty sure mine got bumped the other day because I posted it, but it showed up as a reply to another post. I was trying to make a stand alone post, so I deleted it. When I re posted, I couldn’t find it. Tried to post again and the system told me I just posted that comment. I didn’t think much about it till you said it ended up in spam – and then this post. I suspect mine might have been flagged because of the delete just moments before.
Maybe that sheds a little light …?
Yes Mark–I found one of yours there.
Maybe the words: ” 10yr under 1% ” ?
If so, this won’t go to everyone.
Good one!
Now that’s truly obscene!!
That is a good one Gary–I agree with Leslie Joy.
