False Spam Alerts
I just noticed that some comments get caught by my multi-leveled Spam filtering system (Mostly those with links)… Namely Felonius and Shadow145 lately.
Just a quick note to tell you that should your comment be eaten up by my anti-spam system, just notify me on Gtalk (phil(dot)menard(at)gmail.com) or at chattydm@chattydm.net and I’ll bring it back.
Sorry for the inconvenience, with more than 16 000 Spams in the last 2 months, the defenses are a necessary evil.
The Chatty DM is the "nom de plume" of gamer geek Philippe-Antoine Menard. He has been GMing various versions of D&D and other RPGs for nearly 30 years. A renowned RPG blogger, game designer and published author, he squats a corner of Critical Hits he affectionately calls "Musings of the Chatty DM." (Email Phil or follow him on Twitter.)

WordPress spam’s a tricky thing. Aside from the usual Akismet plugin, I have it send posts with links to moderation queue, but allow posts from recognised e-mail addresses to automatically pass through. This lets through a little spam, but usually only on old posts, and I can delete it within a few days at most.
I used to require an e-mail address and force all comments from unrecognised users to be moderated, but I discovered that this discouraged comments and didn’t block much spam.

I just figured that the system hated me… After a while, you get used to that sort of thing…
poor man. The latest version of Akismet now seperates Comment marked for Spam from the Pingbacks and trackbacks so I can now review them easily and approve them once a day… so it shouldn’t happen anymore.
Sorry for that, I hate that people can’t get their say!
Yay! I’m special! Gooooooooooo ME!
