Please fix your forum - I don't reply as spam and I'm not a bot.

Every reply I'm giving is being flagged as spam.  Why?

Annoyed at this... gets old.

    This is not a spam reply reply.

    Appears this didn't get flagged.  My earlier post in a different thread did.

    Hi Amodin and Jay,

    Apologies for the inconvenience you experienced, I've gone in and approved your posts now. 

    We've recently added rules that filter what links are permitted in posts to prevent some of the spam/bot accounts, that have been afflicting our community forums, from posting. 

    You are welcome to send me a PM if you run into issues with this in the future.

    Maybe a good compromise is to block links for new users (based on account age, number of posts, etc), but allow them for seasoned users?

    Of course as a new user one could always enter a link such as www domain com /url............... if they really had to. This should still keep it from being clickable but not block the message entirely (for legit posters).

    Thanks for the suggestion Jay. I've updated our rules so that legitimate posts will not be caught in the process. We have improvements planned for the Sophos Community platform so things will only get better from here.
