CHICAGO – The DVD Round-Up is back! Did you miss us? HollywoodChicago.com’s intermittent column designed to serve as a safety net for releases that may otherwise fall without notice is back with a motley crew of titles that have nearly nothing in common.

No. Drupal is the robot!

No. Drupal is the robot! This is actually a really interesting test case. Here are my findings.
While users can proactively flag comments as spam (those go to admins for review), we also have a sophisticated system that analyzes a series of factors to do this for us even before users would have to. It will learn from its mistakes and get better, too.
This is the reason your post got flagged as spam and automatically unpublished:
I just looked at what the system unpublished, and while I’m not sure what you originally submitted, the system got a whole bunch of MySQL (database) error text (with a ton of repeating URLs) because your post failed to successfully submit.
That’s the first I’m seeing of that, but the spam system did do its job correctly. So, way to go Drupal. Bad Microsoft.
I Got Flagged Too
I tried to post “Choke” pics. I actually did ten minutes worth of HTML before it wouldn’t let me publish. Dang nabbit.
So do we get to see the pics
So do we get to see the pics or not?
Here's why
You posted nine links to other sites. I had the system set to flag a post as spam when a post links to five other sites. I’ve gone ahead and upped that limit to 10 and made your post live:
http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/forums/choke-pics
The images are very large, though, so that post will take a while to load for someone who’s not on broadband. It’s advised to load images that aren’t quite so large.
But what about someone
But what about someone that’s not Shane and posts something that large? Will it hurt anything to our site?
It doesn't hurt anything. Just might be annoying for some.
It doesn’t hurt anything except it might be annoying for some people to click on a link that has to download 10 or 15 MB worth of images. If the person isn’t on broadband, it’d be especially annoying and the person probably wouldn’t wait.
Improved
Spam filters have been greatly improved. Separately, we’re having another spam problem that’s still being efforted.
