Just so you legitimate members know, Danny has just implemented a new anti-spam measure that will flag and set invisible any post with more than four (4) links in it. Almost all spam we get has multiple links and this is an effort to curb that. Sometimes you will have a very good reason for making a post with more than 4 links. If so try to remember to break it up into more than one post within the same thread or just anticipate a delay before we mods get to it to approve it...we will get an e-mail notification whenever this occurs.
OOPS! I just tried posting - and it failed to post. It had over four (PriusChat) smilies . . . does this new Ani-Spam feature consider those type of posts spam too? :huh:

Uh oh, Patrick, it looks like it started moderating your posts... maybe I need to rething the settings on this thing.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Danny @ Dec 8 2006, 02:11 PM) [snapback]359517[/snapback]</div> I sent the second post without smilies – as a test. There seems to be some delay to post going on . . . . but the first “censored†post (in the “Rear wiper removal†string) has not posted. Some people wouldn't mind my posts being automatically moderated. :lol:
Whoops, I had it set so that everyone's posts in the Members group were being set as "Invisibile". My bad It should be good to go now.
. . . just testing the multi-smilie theory. For members with links in their signature, does that count toward their limit of four per post?
Nope, just the text they are posting. We might add all of the Senior Prius Posters into another member group so that their posts don't have any chance of being moderated.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Danny @ Dec 8 2006, 04:39 PM) [snapback]359533[/snapback]</div> That would be good...anyone with over even 25 posts should fall into that group I think since 99.9% of the spam is from first time posters
