Hey Adrian,

I was trying to post a topic on the forum asking users what they felt about some of the personal servers listed under a freedombox article I read online after hearing you guys speak of it on the forum and I was told that I had been flagged by the spamfilter and it would not go up.  I had no links in the article and it was generally relevant to the Trisquel community as I had read some articles but was hoping to hear what the Free Software/ Trisquel Community thought about it.

Sincerely,

Ryan

I couldn't be of much help to him, so he gave me permission to post this to the forum. Any idea what could be triggering the spam filter? Does the filter block anyone from posting anything at all once it's triggered?

The spam filter can be a little overzealous sometimes. I was getting filtered for Spam when I was editing the documentation and I am a member + on the documentation team!

I had to talk to quidam to get the issue fixed.

BTW quidam can be contacted via (https://trisquel.info/en/users/quidam) or a lot of times via the Trisquel IRC channel in #trisquel on freenode.

Happened to me today as well.
I went to post something, it was blocked, and there was a link to message someone about it. Hope it goes through soon.

One of my posts was blocked a few days ago. Looks like it disappeared into a black hole :'(.

I seem to be able to only post in comments and not topics anymore
dunno if my one post was considered in poor taste and I was permanently disabled as "troll" lol

The message I sent containing my post(after it was regarded as spam).. did it go to /dev/null?..

I've had the same problem, but at 'Issues' while trying to respond to this post. Editing my post comes up with the same error.
