I now try to post pictures from my Flickr account and it also tells me I cannot do that as they are spam too, I am fast fallng out with this site due to the seemingly flawed architecture, I tried 3 or 4 times to post some photos I took and then it stopped me as it was saying then I had posted too many times. In the end I gave up and put them on talkphotography.

Re: What is wrong with this site???
The site does occasionally have a funny five minutes - I've had the spam thing too from time to time - shutting down the site and giving it a bit of time usually seems to sort most issues.Nigel

Re: What is wrong with this site???
Don't despair.
I recall that Robert mentioned some time ago that they get on average around 300 spam attempts per day, which the admin team deal with as and when they occur so that we get a spam free forum. However, I can appreciate that this takes a fair amount of admin time that could more usefully be spent on other tasks, therefore a more aggressive spam filter is beneficial to all. On the face of it, it would appear that the settings are perhaps a little too aggressive and a quick note to Robert will generally sort things out. I have had one or two minor problems in the past and Robert has sorted them out quickly.
Hope that helps.Colin

Re: What is wrong with this site???
Thanks for the feedback.
I have whitelisted TonyT and clive65verde and this should resolve their problems.
As I have mentioned before, posting this type of complaint on the forum might make you feel better, but will not help you. Other members cannot deal with the issue. Use the 'Contact Us' link below.
As colin C says above, the filter we use keeps the forum spam-free. If anyone would like the filter removed so that spammers can fill the forum with their unwelcome and inappropriate messages, please let me know.Robert
