Spam and recapture
Please please please take off the recapture and spam messages.
Pretty much every time I have posted in the Community Playthrough thread I have to go through a dance of being told my post was spam.
It happens when I try and preview a post and when I try to actually post it. It was annoying, but with the introduction of the recapture it is unusable. I have just spent the last 10 minutes going through a loop of clicking to prove I am not a robot, identifying parts of images and then finally still getting the same value judgement on my post anyway.
I won’t try and preview this post in the hope that it actually posts.

OK, I just can’t post at all in the CPT thread now, which is rather a shame as i’m meant to be leading it.

I will let CaliMonk know, Intense.
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
Sorry to hear this.. I’ve disabled the strict checking now, can you let me know if this works good for you again?
Spammers are getting more and more thorough and I had hopes the system we were using now wouldn’t cause issues for our users, but sadly they do, so back to the drawing board :-(
I just got this message when I tried to post in the St Kotar thread:
Is there any information I can provide to help with the troubleshooting?
Just tried again and it went through. Thank you.
Sorry, missed replying to this.
I can post again now, but if I try and preview the post first and then submit it once I have read it it tells me it’s spam. Essentially, this always happens if I haven’t made a change to the post and sometimes when I have.
Thanks for trying to fight the spambots though!

I am now getting the spam messages, bigtime. I never got them before.
:-(
I’ve removed this spam filter and this should no longer be an issue, really sorry to hear actual users got impacted by this. It’s a quite renowned spam service so I’m a bit surprised, but it never outweighs the blocking of actual users.

Thanks, it seems to be better now.
Those pesky spambots
On a side note, don’t you love how the spambots have posted a thread called “Most Advanced Drone Technology in the World to Spice your Adventure” just above our AI thread in Chit Chat? It’s almost like the robots are trying to prove us wrong
Let me know if this is still going fine, I have re-enabled a spam module but disabled it for forum posts. Did enable it for new registrations which should hopefully block some.
Now that the module is available, I’m going to try and write a custom module here to block them from posting, so bear with me. If you notice anything weird please let me know! :-)
