Spam Rejection too sensitive

I write about a lot of politcal stuff and I like to provide links to historical cite references, links to books, and Articles containing quotes from current and historic political persons....

Too often, i get complete rejection as spam or Captcha requirements.

The Captcha happens way to muchl Example

Thanx for the Rec

Consistently requires Captcha.

Even an complaint sent to the staff containing this verbage gets the captcha message.

And the complete rejection for linking to references is equally as troublesome.

Please correct this issue.

I am not sure why this is happening to you but will look in to it and see what is happening.  User generated sites are very vulnerable to spam and we have an automated threshold that learns and grows with experience.  Perhaps a resource you are using is on the spam list.  I would be happy to help you in any way I can if you send me a direct message with an example.

I cite stuff like yahoo, blogs, msn, nowpublic, political websites, the week, youtube, opencongress.org, etc.

It's happening to me, too.  Combined with the faulty stats (for more than a year now), I'm tempted to conclude that NowPublic isn't worth the time I spend there.  [Note: The words preceding this note prompted CAPTCHA! What's spammy about this?]

I can not guess why it keeps asking you for Captcha but will ask around and see what I can find out.

Hmmm... I am sorry for this.  Again, I am not sure why but can only guess it may be a bug.
