Adjusting or replacing the spam filter?
Mike Renfro | Jan 6 2008
No idea how much spam gets caught here on a daily basis, but I’ve had two of my replies get eaten by moderation, never to resurface. Probably had too many links in them, but they were relevant links included in fairly long replies. Is the solution posted here better than what’s currently in place? Or, on a related note, does anyone go through the moderated replies list? 3 Comments

 I've noticed that too...Submitted by augmentedfourth on January 6, 2008 - 3:39pm.
Though I post here pretty frequently (and, for that reason, I feel I should be on a whitelist and bypass moderation), I’ve had several messages get trapped in moderation and never appear on the public forum. I emailed Merlin directly about this, and he responded that he wasn’t sure what was up and that he would “see what he [could] figure out.” That was a couple of weeks ago, and I never heard anything more. In addition, I offered to help moderate if he was short-staffed, but he didn’t say anything about that… »
 Not so much a bump as a legitimate testSubmitted by mwr on January 27, 2008 - 4:47pm.
I know from earlier today that two links won’t get my reply stuck in moderation. Will three links still trip the moderation threshold? EDIT: I guess not. »
I think I figured it out...Submitted by augmentedfourth on January 29, 2008 - 4:35pm.
The problem seems to be that you get held for moderation if you “Preview” your post, change something, and then don’t “Preview” it again before posting it. I guess the system wants to make sure that the final version that ends up on the Web gets reviewed by someone, so if you don’t want it passed to a moderator you have to preview the edited text yourself. »
