Dave’s Blog » False Positives — OK, I’ve just installed the newest release candidate of Spam Karma 2.3. If you are getting rejected comments please read this webpage cited above. Also send me a note.
So your comment was denied on a blog, and the perennial Spam Karma error message showed up, informing you it couldn’t be posted (provided the blog admin was a responsible admin and was keeping up with versions, you should have gotten the “updated” message, which isn’t so nasty any more: if you received some rather offensive piece basically accusing you of spamming, please accept all apologies and keep going).
Quite obviously, since you are reading this, you are not a spammer. You know it, I know it. You feel unjustly singled out, quite possibly frustrated, perhaps a bit angry and, if your mom didn’t hug you enough as a kid, you might even be inclined to overly aggressive and rude behaviour toward anything that ressembles a culprit for this problem. Please read on…
According to the Spam Karma web site, Spam Karma doesn’t like proxies. In fact, I think he said it “hated” proxies because spammers use them.
There is a difference between a transparent proxy and an anonymous proxy, which is what I assume spammers would use but perhaps the Spam Karma security doesn’t differentiate.
To increase my web speed, I hve been using various transparent proxies provided by my ISP.
I don’t know about anyone else but I think that could be at least part of my problem. I will now cease using the proxies and hope for the best.
I don’t use a proxy and I can’t get anything through.
Whoops! Looks like a new Kinda Capcha is back. I didn’t get a rejection.
[Because Uncle Dave happened to spot your posts in the spam list and recovered them.]
SK is probably the most buggy of the spam solutions out there, I never liked it on my site. Askimet and Bad Behavior were enough, and I never got a single complaint.
Good luck tho…
OK, the last few days I’ve had no problems. That damned “Capcha” was a pain in the butt.
Thanks Uncle Dave. I can sure live with the
rapturecapture. It beats the alternative.Say, it would be great if there was a preview on here…hint…hint. I’m sometimes playing Russian roulette with the code.
Tried to post the following on the abstinence blog. I got caught by your spam detector.
Abstinence is a form of sexual deviance for any sexually reproducing species.
Teaching it as a form of birth control, while harmless, is also useless. If we want to keep people from getting AIDS and dying, we need to provide good real sex education. I had it many many moons ago and never ever had sex without birth control. Now, with AIDS being far more prevalent than it was in my time, and also just more publicized than then, we need to teach people about sex and about condoms and make them readily available.
If our prudish society can’t deal with them being actively handed out in the classrooms, then at the very least they must be made available at the school nurses office. Anything less is dooming many to death.
On a semi-related point, spending money to send people to teach abstinence in Africa, instead of distributing condoms, is like dropping an AIDS bomb on Africa as part of a holy war. You must adopt American Christian values or we will just let you die of AIDS. Admittedly, this is not the only issue to be dealt with in Africa regarding sex. But, distribution of condoms must be part of the solution. Teaching abstinence never will be.
For any who doubt my first statement, all you need to decide is whether sex is a normal part of life for a human. If so, not having sex, long term, as in the priesthood, is a deviant behavior.
