I am getting this error message when trying to make a post on the TOAWIV forum, even though it does not contain any links, emails, or phone numbers.

I suppose I'll have to post a couple of messages elsewhere - like in this thread - to get to ten, and then I'll have to wait a week to ask my question about the game.

Very annoying.

Sorry about this. It's ironic, isn't it? They have this anti-spam measure, which gives false positives and thus forces people to post a couple of spammy messages to get to ten posts...

Anyway, having posted in a couple of "What are you watching at the moment?" threads, I am now at ten.

point about most spam is they want the link to another website, that in turn boosts their search ratings as one criteria is how many cross-references exist.

so they don't really care what the host website does, any link will do

It happened, years ago. To counter the spam storm Matrix was forced to introduce this policy and the "I'm not a robot" filter. At the time I was a lurker, not a poster (I still had to buy my first game from Matrix) but we weren't talking about the stray spam post: the fora started suffering from a mini-deluge of them. Quite annoying. Now the spam posts (crosses fingers) have all but disappeared.

Edited for grammar.

Maybe some new system where by the new member can prove not a spam bot is needed?

Status: offline 		This is VERY annoying. Just trying to share information and tips in other posts in this forum is too restrictive. Why doesn't this system just use a captcha to verify a human is posting?? Can I PLEASE be approved to post links so that I can share information on this forum regarding CMO?

Note there is quite a bit of stuff on the Steam forum for CMO, I'm sure people here do visit that forum, but I tend to ask questions in both forums, so being able to share a tip from Steam forum, would I imagine, be beneficial to people here. Captcha please.
