new user, spam filter blocked my post

[ladybug]

Hi comrades! I’m a new user who tried to make my first post a few minutes ago but the spam filter blocked me. I definately wasn’t spamming and couldn’t figure out why I was blocked. The only thing I can think of is that maybe new users have to wait a probationary time period before they are allowed to make new posts? Well if that’s the case I won’t be able to post this either… so this is kind of a test to see. Anyways, can an admin please help? Maybe I can send the post I tried to make to an admin in a PM and they can tell me why it got blocked. 

Thanks.

Wow, it worked on my second try! I was able to post the thing I had wanted to. I didn’t even change anything …. except to change the images of emoticons like this  for the standard old school emoticons like this   …. don’t know why that should make a difference. Well sorry for wasting your time with the above message, I would delete it but I don’t know how.

Not sure exactly how the filter decides what’s spam, it’s run by a third party company. But I’ve added your account to a white list, you won’t need to go through the filter anymore. Post away!

Last couple of times I’ve tried to post links on the forum I’ve been hit by the spam filter. Any thoughts?

Not sure. Were you trying to post a link?Either way I’ve just added you to the white list. This normally happens automatically after a user has made 5 successful posts.
