Commenting Question

When you post a comment more than a few times, how come it says "Sorry, you have posted a similar message recently." I was saying that people's projects were cool, and it stopped me.

Re: Commenting Question

Just change the comment a bit - it's to prevent spam.

For example, posting "Thanks  smile " gets me the spam filter a lot. Just make some very subtle changes to the text and you'll be fine.

Changing the message is hard sometimes - if you have to try rewriting your message entirely rather than changing a few words.  wink

Re: Commenting Question

When I'm doing "Thanks!" comments, I just use lots and lots of different smilies (  big_smile   smile  ^^ (: xD xP  tongue , and so on) after the "Thanks!". And if that fails, I write "Thankies!", or "Thank you!", and sometimes "Merci beacoup!" (litterally means "Thanks a lot! in French), then combine it with a smiley  big_smile

Re: Commenting Question

Well, if I get that message, I usually add "The filter blocked me, so I added this" to the end of my comment.
