I just took the time to write a lengthy thoughtful mini-review of the episode (which was fucking great!) and got flagged as a potential spammer!!! WTF!? I used no code or urls. what gives?

The site uses a list of common spam words and the threshold is pretty low. Did you say 'casino' a bunch of times or maybe 'pharmacy' or 'viagra'? Most of them are nonsense-ish words that nobody uses on a regular basis but there are a couple real words in there. 'shoes', 'penis', 'porn', 'casino', 'incest' are all words that could potentially be used in a non-spam comment here and the post would be flagged as spam. I should probably remove shoes, penis and porn anyway. There's a sentence I never thought I'd write.

Although I was just able to post that so who knows. The first line of defense is a random hash set in the the browser's session which can expire for any number of reasons (if you clear your cookies or something) and cause your post to fail (this is by far the most effective method of killing spam as far as I found). Since your spam post didn't even insert I'm going to guess that was the case :(

I'm afraid so :( I just added a thingy that will print out the text of your post on that page when you get flagged as a spammaster though, which will hopefully save people grief in the future. Sorry!

cheers! good lookin' out!

THe basic gist of my post was as follows:

GREAT episode! The ORB not working was really the only way they could go with that and NOT make it disappointing. I'll rewrite the detailed version later perhaps but yea - this season just gets better and better with every passing ep!
