What is going on?

[85Hokie]

Had this pop up after a lengthy post........

then the post disappeared that I typed up !

Went and posted another post - did not have any problems.....

so - obviously this is due to the huge amount of spam(s)

so - is this something we are going to see more of?

edit : after paying attention to the type of post.......IF there is a URL listed in the post - it must be approved first? otherwise a non URL will go through fine............

Mr. K (the Admin) was probably messing with settings on the board to help prevent spamming. One thing we are looking into is not allowing new members to post a URL till after they have posted X number of times in other threads. Mr. K was probably tweaking the settings to get that done and you posted a link before he had all the tweaking done.

Give us a few days to work the kinks out. Might see some other odd things over next week.

I was wondering if the last 3 posts in this thread were not some new kind of spam?

If so a perfect target for such tweaking of forum settings.

Yep - we are tweaking some of the spam settings right now. I've approved that post, you should see it up on the site now.

 

[sheepfarmer]

Interesting....

Check out some of the changes we've made here:

I've updated the spam rules to ignore trusted accounts (accounts with a large, established post history). If you do notice anything strange though, feel free to reach out.

Legit ... he is having problems with oil filter that blew out. Interesting read. English must be second language.
