Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by oyinda3(f): 11:01pm On Jul 09, 2009
Moderators,
At first I thought this was purely accidental or some glitch in the NL system. I mean, i've seen it happen to other people. Their username is in the board list as "last post" but when you click on the topic, you actually don't get to see this "last post" for some reason.
Lately, this ill luck has befallen me with an increased frequency, and I'm wondering why?    undecided
Re: Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by oyinda3(f): 11:02pm On Jul 09, 2009

oh btw, I can see the post when i click on my profile. it just doesn't appear on the intended thread or the place where it's posted.

The spam bot probably doesn't like you. grin

No one is 'targeting' your post, it is a system designed to eliminate spam. Unfortunately it's not perfect and is tagging a lot of posts these days.

Even I had almost 10 posts tagged in the past couple of days and even got banned by it. grin

Work is underway to resolve the problem so rest at ease. Report to a mod by IM or email if you can and they will see to sorting out the problem.
Re: Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by oyinda3(f): 11:51pm On Jul 09, 2009
so, this "spam bot." what is it? and how does it work?
my post doesn't resemble spam in the least bit. and some of the posts that I saw targeted don't resemble spam either (i check their profiles sometimes when I see that their "last post" on the topic doesn't exist).

The operation of the spam bot is not something I can comment about, only the admin can tell you exactly how it works.

Like I told you, even MY OWN posts have been marked so obviously it's not working properly.

Yeye man! grin

If posts are simply disappearing and mods know nothing about it, it must be the spam bot. tongue

Like I said, the spam bot banned even me a mod this week, so I won't be surprised if others are affected.

If the spam bot attacked your thread, you wouldn't even see it in the first place.

Indirectly it does - if you are a suspected spammer you can be banned till someone physically looks at the posts and confirms you are not.

why this spam bot never ban all of una throw key sef?
Re: Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by oyinda3(f): 1:03am On Jul 10, 2009
debo and other mods, in the forum games section where posts can be very redundant and "spam like," is the spam bot not turned on in the forum games section?
what are the criteria for spam identification? i'm just trying to understand how this spam bot works so that i can work around it and prevent my innocent posts from being tagged.

We can't simply tell you how it works, at least not everything, else the spammers will also read what we tell you and modify their strategies.

All I can say is that we are resolving the problems as we speak.

Cos we know you love us so much and can't do without us. grin grin
Re: Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by oyinda3(f): 1:28am On Jul 10, 2009
I thought u said you were tagged multiple times as well and even banned yourself undecided so u knew how it worked all along?
I meant for other mods to respond.
Re: Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by debosky(m): 1:32am On Jul 10, 2009
I don't know how it works - even if I did know, it would not be disclosed publicly to avoid spammers knowing how we stop them from getting posts into the forum.

I was tagged, but after the section mod reported the posts, I was untagged.

The mods will report posts and they will get untagged. That is all I can tell you.

No other mod can tell you anymore than I've done already.
Re: Dear Mods, Why Are My Posts Playing A Disappearing Act? by TOPE20001(f): 1:33am On Jul 10, 2009
