NomadTravellers Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hello, I'm new in the forum, and I struggled quite a lot with automatic spam words in the forum. I was receiving error selating to Spam Word XXX, where XXX was a numer, the last 3 numbers of the current year 20 16. I can't write it togheter otherwise it's considered spam. Same for another number, now I don't remember which one. The problem is that being a new user I was trying to understand what could be the spam word I was using.First I tried to count the words. In example SPam word 017, and I was looking for the 17th word and trying to delete it. But it didn't work. Then I though it was a numerical reference to a list somewhere in the regulation, but I didn't find any reference of it. Then I lost over one hour cutting and pasting just portions of my message to understand what was the problem. In the end I had the illumination that spam word XXX, the XXX was actually a number, and was consider to be spam itself!I have to say that's a quite srange and confusing behaviour, and I guess it's a bug, because I don't see any reason to block some specific numbers, in particular if we are speaking about the current year!

losdemas Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Never had any problems, myself. Sounds a bit bizarre to me. Post your problem in this forum, so that Alamy are sure to read it. EDIT: along with Mark Dunn, I can also write pretty much anything this year, 2016, last year, 2015 and very likely next year (God willing), 2017.

M.Chapman Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I've never had the problem you describe. Try another browser? Check for viruses? Disable plugins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadTravellers Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 That's weird. I don't knwo if it's because I'm a new user of the forum, and I might have extra restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
