    I tried to submit an article (using the handy “Contribute” link) on managing site-wide buddy lists for the iChat server, but the site responds “Spam detected and Comment or Message was deleted”.

    Is there a guide somewhere to structuring an article so the filter won’t think it’s spam, or is article submission here just hosed?

    Or am I doing something else wrong?

    We also use a spam link verification system which uses a central database to track included links against those that have shown up in comment spam across a number of sites. That’s what’s tripping you up here.

    What links were you trying to include?

    Other than a single link to search.cpan.org, all the links pointed to tar.gz files hosted on my own server (at http://www.cliq.com); neither of those _should_ be listed in any spam databases. 😉

    I’ve put a copy of the article HTML at http://www.cliq.com/chatserv/posts/rostergroup-04.html, so hopefully you can tell me how I ran afoul of the spam filter.

    EDIT: Thanks for responding, by the way. I understand how big a pain comment spam can be.

    Anyway, you’re posted on the top of the front page now. Thanks for the submission and thanks for the homemade libations in front of Dave’s the other week.

    And thank you; now to get started on the one for bandersnatch. 😉
