Next thing I know I see bold red letters telling me I did something bad, and it also apparently deleted my entire post.. What the hey?!.. Am I going to go to jail or something? And if so.. Do they allow part15 stations in jail?
But seriously, what just happened? There was no foul language or improper content or anything.
I know one thing, I sure as hell wont click "edit" again.
It got flagged as spam. no worries tho, I've published it and have given a stern lecture to the spam filter on your behalf 🙂
seriously though, every time i publish something caught, it learns from that message. It has been doing much better recently, and we're usually pretty quick to publish "ham" caught up in the spam filter.
you wouldn't believe how much spam we prevent daily. its unreal!
And you wouldn't believe what some of that spam is spamming for - good grief! Be very glad we filter, it really is worth the small inconvenience it occasionally causes, really.
And welcome aboard, PichPowers!
Also, I've added you to the group that permits filter free posting, so you wont run into that issue again. 🙂

Cool! Now I can use foul language and post links to buy Viagra!
My posts must sometimes have the look and feel of spam because I have been flagged several times. I've learned to just wait, and especially not to double-post.
Ermi- You're also in that group. You shouldn't get flagged anymore. Please let me know if you do (well I'll see it too, of course)
I really should release some stats.. its really amazing. here's a little taste:
