Last night I attempted to post a story comment. For some reason, when I clicked on "Submit" I received a message to the effect that my comment had been blocked as spam (and I was logged on), subject to moderator approval. I looked this evening and the comment hasn't appeared. Do I need to repost? If so, how do I avoid the spam filter?

Sorry, Andi. Any comment containing the words p*ker or h*ld'em is likely to get caught in the spam filter, c*sino and v**gra, too. My fault for not noticing I had a live non-spam comment in the catch. :)

Some days, the spam filter stops upwards of 300 spams -- sometimes, that's why BC is running slow.

Hugs,
Erin
