[Imc-web] re: Problems with Posting

[David Gehrig]

Mike -- this sounds like the antispam hack I put into dada.

Currently, it won't save a post if

(a) your heading contains "Pro-War Hostility"

(b) your name contains "ingtone" or "Jack Ryan"

(c) your post contains "ialis" "evitra" "axil" "amiflu" "lackjack"
      "Cool site" "Good site" "Nice site".

I'm constantly adjusting these, trying to suppress spam
while minimizing false hits and processor time.  This may
be what you and the other poster are running up against.
I twiddle them several times a week.

It goes without saying that there is no attempt to censor posters!
