Moderation Problems - Posts "subject to moderation"?

[Halwynd]

I've been a member since late last year and have recently made my first post regarding Northern Ticket Machines. My first 5 posts were made without a problem, but the next 2 have been delayed and 'subject to moderation'. Eventually they were posted but I was just curious as to whether I am doing something wrong, or if there is a problem with my account as my last post to a while to come through. I have tried to make contact to seek help through the 'report', contact us' and by sending a message to an Administrator, but have not received any acknowledgment or reply as yet. Can anyone offer any advice please, or point me in the right direction?

Edit: This one seems to have been posted without being moderated, so perhaps the problem has been resolved?! If so, many thanks if someone has looked at this for me.

Accounts with low post counts are subject to a harsher regime of anti-spam protection, even innocuous words like "money" can trigger the spam filter as even though out anti-spam measures usually stop bots from signing up it isn't always enough to stop humans from signing up (which does happen) and spamming the Forum. I think it's switched off once the account moves from "New Member" to "Member" from memory. This explains why some of your posts will have been caught but not others (those that weren't will not have had any trigger phrases in them) and I suspect that from here on out you probably won't be caught at all (though I could be wrong as I can't recall exactly where the cut off is).

Ah, I didn't realise that there were spam filters in place. Fully understood - and thank you for such a quick reply which is much appreciated.

No worries
