Title: post not allowed Post by: id on October 20, 2002, 04:00:00 AM Hi, I've spent like 30 minutes on typing up a post that I hoped would be interesting to the public. When I pressed the button, I got a 'Post not allowed' message saying that my post wasn't allowed because of a site promotion. I wasn't even remotely trying to promote anything. In addition, the link to FAQ, which that error page presents is broken as well. This is very frustrating. Admins: I could have a quick look at that bit of Perl code that does that stupid thing(free of charge), looks like it needs fixing. Anyone else had the same problem?

If you saved the text, send it to me in an email and I'll look to see what triggered it. I recently removed many of the URLs that were on the spam list, so if anything, things should have gotten looser. There must be one URL left that matched some words in your post and triggered the spam alarm.

Yeah... sometimes it makes mistakes. It wouldnt let me post the site for the Warsaw Embassy. You can get around it by using clever wording for the url You know... like: 3ws DOT Planet DASH Love DOT Com (although, clearly, that's one URL which is accepted...)
