Didn’t see another place for this. Does anyone have details on what the stupid spam filter is considering spam? There are times when this forum is getting almost unusable.

Mods have responded to this often. There is no easy answer. I have done the same thing on different days and got different results. The bottom line is, better to have it be the problem than having a worse problem with spam.

I have found that adding a line of text to the post often gets by the spam filter.

Or if it’s a link that is doing it then add a space to the URL. It will still work, for whatever reason the forum still recognizes it as a link.

We are discussing the same issue in the CFI Forum Feedback Forum ([http://www.centerforinquiry.net/forums/viewthread/19280/](http://www.centerforinquiry.net/forums/viewthread/19280/)) as well. Maybe we should ask the mods to merge the two threads.

What do you mean? Like when it gets rejected, go back to it and just hit enter and add any old line of text?
