There seems to be a problem with posting to the forums and the new spam filtering. John has been informed, please be patient if you are having problems getting your posts through.

I've been hit by this a few

I've been hit by this a few times. Reported it each time.

Should Be Fixed

It should be fixed now. Sorry about that guys. The filter doesn't appear to work that well.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks.

My post went thru fine!

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

What happened?

Please look at the posts from user indiaseo in http://portableapps.com/node/17303!

(I am sorry for the double posting, but nobody seems to have noticed the first one.)

Wow!

It looks like user indiaseo has been banned (I am denied access to his profile), and all his posts (exept one) have been removed. Now this thread has a new user, indiaseo1, doing the same thing: copying (parts of) older posts, adding completely irrelevant links. Looks like a difficult one!

Gone

All gone now. It's obviously a not-too-bright spammer since all our forum links have rel=nofollow set, so they get no search engine boost from their spamming.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks!

(Is there really somewhere else to squeal in such cases?)
