Spam filter conundrum

Saw someone else do this, so maybe someone will have a clue? Can't imagine I'm the only legit prospective user with this problem.

I made this account a couple of weeks ago. Every time I've ever tried to make a post, it's been spam filtered. I haven't tried to post a link and my intended post is usually 3-4 sentences, if not a couple of paragraphs. I have read http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/faq-why-are-all-of-my-posts-being-marked… and have tried to change everything suggested, including my IP (logged in through two different VPNs, one through my school and one through work) and even made another account, thinking my name was somehow unintentionally offensive, to no avail.

Very frustrating :(

Edit: to the below, the spam filter is keeping me from replying to you, but making an initial blog post appears to have laxer rules than forum posts or even replying to blog posts.

Double edit: @WallStreetOasis.com, none of the posts that have been spam filtered actually had links in them

Your name is offensive in several languages I know. At least, 'Douchehat' is offensive to me.

hahahahaha.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Didn't think SirPoopsalot would be so easily offended.
