Re: "You have posted a similar comment recently"

I agree, they really ought to loosen it up. Perhaps they should do it only if the comment contains a link?

Re: "You have posted a similar comment recently"

No. I think they should loosen it up so if the comment is exactly like it or has the same words 5 or more times. This is what I have to post but it won't let me.

I am the new judge with DawnLight. This is outrageously amazing!! Even tough it's not realistic(not with shading which makes it realistic) this is amazing! Contest Results will be here: http://scratch.mit.edu/galleries/view/46433 If you have any questions just ask me.  smile

But I have every comment different. But it keeps say that. IT GETS SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it is the link that is getting you.  It pays special attention to links...since that is what spammers use the most.

Re: "You have posted a similar comment recently"

its really annoying though when you aren't allowed to say simple things like "thanks" or "okay" or "this is cool" or "yes" even in replies to other people's comments, on your OWN PROJECTS! If they made it so that they blocked it for really long comments that are extremely similar but not for common comments like "cool" and stuff that would be  nice!

The spam blocker blocks me from saying "lol" too much.  smile


http://i52.tinypic.com/5es7t0.png I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

Re: "You have posted a similar comment recently"

For some reason the spam filter doesn't work on my computer. I posted a few "test" comments, all of them were exactly the same, and I never got that message. But since I'm not a quick commenter, I don't have a use for it.


I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.
