Over my years here we have had so many spammers in this one particular area that its not funny. I'm sorry that you are inconvenienced by the filter, but it is designed to catch spam, and is not perfect by any means. We have over 90K members here and thousands of posts a day. The ratio of spam that you DON'T see is because of that same filter. Some times it catches stuff that isn't spam, but we physically look at each and every one before it is approved.
Now, if we were to shut that filter off, then it would kill for forum quickly and we would be inundated by advertisements. If you feel that you are being picked on, your not, and the system will learn with each approved post, that you are not a spammer. But if you haven't got the patients to wait for your post to show up, feel free to join another forum that doesn't filter the advertisements and spam.

Something to keep in mind also, all staff live in different parts of the country and some of us drive over the road still and I am one of those. Not trying to be mean or nasty but if you think that I am rolling out of the bunk just to approve a post then it just will not happen, moderated post or links to spam show up by the hundreds every week.

First off.. I really do appreciate all the help I've been receiving here. This is one of the most informative and friendly forums I have ever been a part of. You guys reply quickly and with ton's of information which has been helping me realize how cool and unique cb radios are. Thanks to everyone who has been helping me out again.
Now back to the discussion. Does anyone have a schematic for the 510xl so I know what to remove?RALPHMANBEARPONY Thanks this. -
Yes that is it but you should carefully read replies since I already covered the schematic.
My point is the software can be configured easily to not flag spam when a member has a high post count for merely posting a link. Spammers have a very low post count since they do not last long. This is not too much to ask and saves great irritation when one has spent an hour studying schematics and typing in an effort to help a member with a problem. It puts a major obstacle in the way of the person trying to help at the time that person can spare a few moments to aid people with problems. Not an unreasonable request yet the logic of this point keeps getting overlooked or ignored in various replies.mike5511 Thanks this. -
Maybe this will help

If I am not mistaken the software is set to when a user has a certain number of posts your posts shouldn't be scanned, your post count is well higher than the setting.
For some reason, something in your post got the attention of the spam filter....it happens sometimes...even to admins and moderators.
I am not trying to be nasty, but if something like that sets you off..."irritates" you, perhaps this forum isn't for you, and that's okay, maybe you should look for a place that has no spam filter that way you don't get all irritated and stuff....
Sorry for the inconvenience but it is what it is.Last edited: Sep 19, 2012
aiwiron and bullhaulerswife Thank this. -
I am a member of several forums, about 13 if I counted right. None of them block you from posting a link if you've been a member for awhile. Obviously other forums are running just fine without this tight of a anti spam program. I would think if it is really needed, all of them would be doing it. Maybe this "safeguard" should be re-considered????? JMO.
This was a great thread by the way, members trying to help a fellow member. Thread not digressing into a "ham thread" (sorry guys but they usually do). Looked forward to checking it out each day.....maybe we can move on now????Last edited: Sep 20, 2012
