I know it can be confusing and even upsetting to create a post or comment here on OlyBlog and then be denied publication right away. It can even feel as if you are being censored, personally.

OlyBlog recently went through a site upgrade and our spam filter is still learning. This is an automatic process, the filter is tripped by whatever, we docents are notified and once we can get to it, we approve or not.

The filter is "dumb" and is being improved with use. Sometimes that means there is a delay. We docents do the best we can but sometimes no one gets to a spam filter issue right away.

Feel free to contact any of we docents, any time.

That Dumb Filter

Docents, is there some way to enhance the "Access Denied" response with an explanation or link explaining the "dumb filter"? That might help prevent future misunderstandings.

Good idea.

I'll look into that.


When you think of the long and gloomy history of man, you will find more hideous crimes have been committed in the name of obedience than have ever been committed in the name of rebellion. -C.P. Snow
