Why are all posting being moderated?

[DavidWhite]

Hi Steve,

Why the sudden change to moderating all postings?

Is this a temporary or permanent change, and is it for all users?

Thanks,

David

All postings are not moderated. But we have been having a surge in spam and moderation is one of the tools we are using to fight this. I will check to see if perhaps the settings can be adjusted.

David, A post could be delayed if it has a web-link and take a look at a thread I created a couple of days ago: Forum topic: Post problem on IDZ website: Message queued for admin approval Web-link: software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/369744 >>...we have been having a surge in spam... The same happens with regular users of some e-mail services, like hotmail.com. During last a couple of days I received lots of spam from gmail.com. Sorry for a small deviation...

Can spam filter settings be somehow relaxed further?For example is there a possibility to adjust the settings accordingly to the specific user's behaviour.

I have made a request to adjust the filter behavior.

Thank you Steve.

@Steve

Still my posts are queued for admin approval.This very annoying because the link is pointing to our forum's thread and this should not trigger any spam filters

[DavidWhite]

The latest changes to the settings seem to be working now - my post was accepted automatically.

Thanks,

David

Hi David

I did not test the new spam filter settings.In order to mitigate the problem I was foced to disable "rich-text" and to remove www or http from the link.

@Steve

My posts even those which have a link to Intel Forum threads are still beign moderated.Today I tested this and my post was automaticaly queued for the admin approval.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the forum admins are still working on this problem. If I hear anything, I will let you know.
