      Oh you tricky bastards*:D*
      I typed "shit" with a Russian letter in place of "sh" - and it's still holding! :lol:

              Ah, maybe you meant it was a joke.

                Of course. Using "sh*t" in the same post with "still holding" ...

                    I would presume the filter thinks anything with mixed encoding is spam (Russian letters in English words), since it is a common approach spammers use to try to fool keyword filters.

                      Whatever it is, it's a huge improvement! Again... thanks, to those who've implemented it!

                        Black, was your post held too or is it just a usual mess about the last post?
                        I just hopped in in case - in this case all right: your post isn't shown* on the index page.

                        *Wasn't shown: now it's mine that's shown.

                          Not that I observed. It showed up here right after I posted it, though I never checked the timestamp. There are some peculiarities going on right now... I've noticed that a user's post count seems "stuck" for various timespans. Yesterday, I saw a poster with two posts showing a zero post-count. 😕

                          For me, it's all compounded in the evening hours because my ISP is chronically under-servered, and things slow down to well below dial-up speeds many evenings. The result is that Opera's forums take several minutes (each page) to load/refresh/update, which plays havoc with how the forum continuity and responsiveness appears here at such times. Edit: case in point: it took over 3 minutes to refresh this page after I posted this originally; the posting time shown on the post is correct, but it took the 3 minutes to render the page back to my system. As a result, I often don't go back to check the index pages to see if my post shows there - at least in the evening hours.

                            Your post isn't shown again there*. The last post shown on the index page is mine (it was previous one).
                            Are you sure your post wasn't held for moderation?

                            *Was again - just to clarify...

                              Weather has lots of sites of "its own", photography has a lots of sites of its own.
                              CLOSE THE LOUNGE - it's not about Opera and every topic there has a lots of "sites of its own".
                              You idiot.

                                  He closed a thread for a wrong reason.
                                  I don't oppose a supposed theoretical presumption that the topic would've been worth closing for some reason(s). I only oppose the wrong reason - thus the closing (for a wrong reason).

                                  Well, I might have to apologise for the words. Not for the idea expressed though.

                                    Whoa there, @joshl...! @christoph142 explained his reasoning in that thread ( https://forums.opera.com/post/61891 ), and he did what he felt was consistent with that reasoning. Your examples of "other" Lounge topics (and those I see appearing in the Lounge) are not competitor products with Opera, and after all, Opera pays for the infrastructure to support ALL these forums.

                                    Please... there's no reason not to be polite around here - and calling somebody an "idiot" is not being polite. Truth be told, most forums I've been in will suspend users for personally attacking others, particularly over moderation of a post or thread.

                                        To be fair, I amended the second part of the explanation after @joshl attacked me. And I thought about simply deleting his comment at first, but I wanted him to hear from others but me that he overstepped a line there.
                                        @joshl I'm not going to ban you as it's the first time (I guess it's part of being a mod and making decision that not everybody always likes what you do). However, this is a warning. Watch your mouth, please. We're not going to tolerate this forever. You should know better how to behave in here.
                                        If you disagree, kindly ask for clearance.

                                        your examples of "other" Lounge topics [...] are not competitor products with Opera

                                        @blackbird71 gets me :love:

                                          He closed a thread for a wrong reason

                                          Although i don't mind someone eventually asking for help on another browser in the Lounge, i don't think his reason is completely wrong.

                                          This is a Opera forum and asking for help in Firefox may be considered offtopic even in the Lounge. And it's not the same thing as posting pictures or talking about the weather.

                                          If you think a thread was closed wrongly you can post your reasons, in a polite way, and they may be taken in consideration.

                                          Calling people names and acting like a spoiled child will not help you and may lead you to a ban.

                                          You seem to get yourself stressed too much because of the forums, you need to relax.

                                            If you want technical assistance for your car, are you going to ask your bridge (card game) league? You may get some sympathy there, but for actual help you should ask the dealer or a mechanic - someone you're sure knows about cars and that model in particular. Other people complaining about their problems won't help fix yours. I certainly can't fault christoph142 there ... and "the f word" is definitely out of bounds.
