Spam Filter WSO

Hey Patrick or any WSO techy,

I appreciate the quick reply to my first post. However, I couldn't comment on my thread about not being able to comment. (oh, the irony)

I didn't write anything inappropriate or provide any crap link. I haven't been able to infuse my bullshit opinions on threads for days, it's killing me! I didn't want to create another thread and clog up real content, but I wanted Patrick to be aware of the issue. Let me know what's going on.

PS - Props to Eddie and WSO for the Dealbook story! It definitely has that vibe of a small movement that grows to something larger than life, all behind the mask of an anonymous blogger!

Maybe this is like the financial arm of the tea party Ed, you could use this to launch your senate campaign, provided you vote on all legislation from a secret location and never make public appearances to expose your true identity.

I tried to use the words "c*ck sucker" (uncensored of course) in another thread, but the forum wouldn't let me make the post.

Sounds like the filter is working pretty well now Patrick haha

maybe too well... but seriously, i get the filter to a degree, but young males want to be vulgar (to a reasonable degree)!

 

Typing swears is unnecessary -- all you need to do is swear out loud as you type.

What exactly is the filter supposed to be blocking? What's the crriteria - which type of words does it look for?

You know you've been working too hard when you stop dreaming about bottles of champagne and hordes of naked women, and start dreaming about conditional formatting and circular references.
 

I've had trouble with a number of my posts (a couple that I spent bout an hour, grrr), the spam filter is killing me. Hopefully its doin more good than bad though
