Increased Spam Filter

Just an FYI: If you post a comment amd it doesn’t show, its probably been caught by the newly amped up spam filters.
These will be manually reviewed and posted, but it may be as long as 12 or even 24 hours before hand. If you post the same thing multiple times, it just raises your Is he a spammer quotient rating.
A few suggestions to avoid getting caught in the tuna nets:
• Avoid spam words — casinos, viagra, etc.
• Short nonsense comments whose sole purpose is to generate a link back to your site or easily identified.
• Disposable email addresses are non starters. Mailinator and Hotmail are now auto rejected; Junk email addresses beyond those get sequestered.
