      Hey, it held one of mine too. Admittedly it had spam words in it, but that was the topic. But at least I get to approve my own posts ...

      Steve, was it an antibaba filter implemented?
      If so, I hope its tuning won't take ages <!-- and kilometres of our nerves -->.

          That's another question. Still needs tuning anyway.

              Here we go again:

              Your post has been flagged for moderation, and will appear once it's been approved.

              It was just a single ![](gif) in.

              Are we not "allowed" to post images? I hope you tune that up soon... 😕

                I can't reveal exactly what triggers it, but in this case your post was flagged as spam due to a word you used. Please be patient with this filter, and keep in mind that the forum is currently almost free from spam. An occasional post/comment wrongly marked as spam is the price we pay for that.

                  O'k, still Andreas, you're going to tune it up, aren't you?

                  I'll see about that word and be guessing. What I can - actually repeat - now is your machine needs a couple of more parameters to consider. Wanna know?:sherlock:

                  1. Some data about THE POSTER: like if s/he's a monkey or not - which can go with other badges (or rather data behind them) as well.
                  2. If it's being posted in the lounge: we can 'endure' a bit more frivolousness there*;)*

                  Don't rush it, of course. All I can say in case you have something concerning about it, is we always have the moderators and the report button - to deal with, well, certain marginal occurences*;)*
                  :cheers:

                    We will be whitelisting admins, moderators, and possibly server monkeys as well. We could also look at amount of posts, eg whitelist someone with 500+ posts. No promises though.

                    If it's being posted in the lounge: we can 'endure' a bit more frivolousness there

                    We will have the same spam filter in the lounge as elsewhere in the forum.

                        You guys are doing a great job and we appreciate your hard work. I've noticed that spam is considerably down in the forums... a very nice break for all of us. Thanks.

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

                                Constipated = unable to defaecate.

                                  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.
