Forum spam errors
-
I keep getting this error when trying to reply to threads:
Post content was flagged as spam by Akismet.com
In one case I thought it might be caused by a URL in a quoted post, so I removed that quote and tried again successfully. In the other however I could not see the problem and simply submitted again, which also worked.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it expected behavior of the forum software which I'm inadvertently triggering?

Hmm, that was supposed to be disabled. I've double-disabled it, should stop scanning after the forum is restarted sometime today.

Thanks!
For future reference, is there a bug tracker specifically for the forum where I should report such glitches? I looked and didn't find it, but I didn't have the time then to look very hard.

There is not, but few enough problems happen that they can be discussed here.

I'm getting this same message when trying to post a reply on a thread about the Cosmo Communicator. I'm new here, and also tried uploading a photo in my post, I don't know if that's significant.

Hi, I don't know for sure, but some features are locked to new users to prevent spam.
Maybe posting a picture is one of them.
The more you use the forum, the faster you'll be able to do it.I'll give you a push and see if it helps.

Thanks for that. Yeah, probably right, I reckon the photo pushed the spam filter over the edge. I've tried to repost without the picture but no go, so I reckon maybe my card is marked until I build up a bit of history. Shame really, it was a very groovy photo of UBPorts running on a PinePhone and Planet Cosmo side by side, very convergent. -
@MonCon
There is a locked post about the cosmo and another in wich you should be able to post.
But maybe old topics are off limit for a bit.
Keep the photo for a couple of days

It was the old and unlocked thread I was trying to post on. Silly spam filter was blocking every attempt. I just tried again and it accepted the post. -
