Not sure, but something in it probably tried to link to one of the sites that we were getting spam from (the rash of Chinese spammers that we've had)... most notably jersey sales sites.

What is that about? Clearly you are a spammer who needs to be banned. What part of "I am a spammer, ban me" do you not understand? We need a zero tolerance policy around here to get rid of miscreants and ne'er-do-wells like you.

I got something similar. When I made a post, it said "I am a bammer. Span me." Seriously, what is THAT about?

Well, it blocked an article from FoxSports ... so maybe it needs a bit of tweaking ......?

It is infuriating to do every single thing right in posting an article ....... from legitimate sports source, to link, to inclusion of all credits, etc ......... and post it and get "I am a Spammer, ban me."

I agree completely, and I hate that it did that.

If I knew which article, I might be able to figure out what it was that falsely triggered it and tweak the script accordingly.

OK ..... that didn't work.

Go to foxsports.com and search for "Crowder". One of the top links will be about his selling his uniform shirts that cannot be called a "j" word or the link gets deleted.

Crowder hints that he sold his Gators "J" (uniform shirts, or an East Coast state starting with "New", but not New York or New Hampshire)

Anyway ..... back on track ......

Is there an answer to this issue? I understand that you want to keep the spammer/jersey sellers out .... but there has to be a better way that this.

Uh, yeah... the answer was that if I know which article it is that triggered it, I'll look into it and see if I can figure it out.


The short answer is this:

There was nothing in the article itself that triggered it; it was triggered by the posted URL to the article itself.

However, because of how it is happening, I'm not willing to make any changes to the code right now. I'm not sure that there is a good way to code around the issue to allow for an isolated story like this while still blocking the spammers; and I'm not willing, at this time, to remove the filter that is in place.

Basically, there is no resolution to it right now... though I'm tossing around one idea that **may** do what I need.

I've made some tweaks... the filter should be a little more forgiving while still performing the specific filtering I was looking for.

I'm sure you already know this but the link isn't necessary.

Quote:

CUT AND PASTED ARTICLES If you cut and paste an article from a news source or another site, be sure to include proper credit as to the source of the article. If you didn't write the piece yourself, provide credit as to who did write it. A link is the preferred method, but including the author and the source where the piece was retrieved from is sufficient in most cases. .

It's not, but I always prefer to include it just in case there is every any question as to where something came from.
