CAPTCHA and SPAM

Page:
Posted by albertacowpoke at 17:30 on June 27th, 2009 | 24 Posts | 14 Recommendations

Until a couple of days ago I was able to add comments and send messages without the CAPTCHA  box coming up. Now it happens all the time.

In additions when I try to manually add highlighted articles from a website it triggers the spam filter without a CAPTCHA and just tells me the spam filter  has been triggered and my submission will not be accepted.

My question is, does this have something to do with the settings on my computer or is that something that is triggered by the NP server?

How can it be corrected?

We want you here Rene. We are using a third party spam filter service. We are contacting them, and also we have a few things in mind to have a temporary(?) workaround.

The Spam filter stuff is really annoying.  I should be able to reply to comments on my own article without it kicking up - at the very least my OWN article!!

Every single comment I make makes me put the CAPTCHAmadoodle in and some are just plain "not accepted" for no reason at all.

Like this one.. CAPTCHA DGasw

I have tried to write comments on stories but the SPAM filter is not working and if I send a Private Message to anyone, it still doesn't work, it keeps going on about the SPAM filter. Have tried to HTML it but no luck.  It is impossible to write a comment in the Forum too because of this.

I am also have problems with uploading new Youtube videos.


I would like to say thanks to anyone who has responded to my posts. Sorry I cannot reply.

Is this just happening to lefties?
