Today, when I try to post or reply to a thread, I often get this message. It doesn’t happen every time, but it occurs frequently when starting a new thread or replying to an existing one.

Help.

You won’t believe this! Just sitting here, minding my own business when—boom!—a Miracle Cure for my posting troubles appeared! Maybe firing off threads and replies packed with HOT Deals and Free Money offers was the real issue all along?

But hey, for science, let’s toss in a little Viagra (strictly research, of course) and a Shocking Discovery Doctors Don’t Want You to Know! Will this one slip through?

Only one way to find out.

Appreciate it, Robb. 😉

I'm still dealing with this issue, like when responding to the new federal crypto reserve thread. Maybe there’s a spam trigger word or two because it’s about crypto, but I’ve been a member here for years and have never had this problem before.

Is there a way to isolate the new spam detection to specific members and turn it off?

Happening again today—tried to jump into a couple of threads, and boom, same old “mod approval needed” nonsense. No trigger words, no crypto, just me trying to participate like a normal person.

At this point, can the system be trained to recognize that I’m just a prolific poster and not some spam bot hell-bent on flooding the forum with miracle diet pills and sketchy investment schemes?

Late to this party and I've been hit with this in the movie thread of all places, no trigger words no nothing just agreeing with a posted review. After poking around the forums I see a pattern, those who have been hit with this and spoken up are all old long term members that freuquated several long running threads.
