ha, I've been called worse!

So listen, I've responded a half dozen times to posts and gotten a message that I triggered the spam something something or another?? How do I stop this? How did I start this? Kinda bummed especially when I spend a good chunk of time on post that doesn't get posted. Sad

Huh! That's our Mollom. Trust me, it's done a great job - by its own reckoning it's blocked 10's of thousands of spamming attempts over the last few months, and considering the plethora of spam script bots out there, I believe it.

If it thinks something might be spam, it should give you an opportunity to enter a captcha. If you do the captcha correct, it will go ahead and post the message. Is it not doing that? :\

well, twice I got the captcha thing and it worked but like four times, nothing happened. It was kinda like being in limbo. I'm not sure what it is that I'm typing that's being considered spam?

hmmm! Mollom can be weird. I am so sorry Hellion! Let us know if it happens again. There may be a way to fix this.

It might also have been that the Mollom servers were temporarily down. It's set to go to 'captcha' in the event that they cannot communicate. :\

Yeah, bummer. Well, at least I know what it is now. Thanks! Smile
