#3 If any of you give me crap about this, check the comments posting logs with my comments. I'm NOTHING like ACA JOE but I'm getting treated the exact same way; this is beyond fucked...

#6 I have no idea what you’re going on about, Raj. Most of your comments stand, and this is the first time I’ve seen this thread, as I am still posting articles. So whatever you wrote that was objected to, I have no idea.

But being spamcopped is a common experience here, as you well know. It’s happened to me and all the other moderators as well — and in fact I have more than once spamcopped my own comments when on reflection (that should have happened before I hit submit instead of after) I realized something I wrote was strongly inappropriate and y’all deserved not to have to deal with it.

#7 Usually happens if you use one of the forbidden words- stuff that shows up in a lot of spam. And no, there’s no published list of those words.

#9 I'm not allowed to post the words Casi** or Ga**. Nice filter, douchebags...

#10 In other words, what I post, innocuous and harmless as it is, is just as banned as ACA JOE. Thanks for your ever loving 'filters' you wish to blame it on.

#11 You know what? Fuck this (oh - I can post a swear on Rantburg, but little else) - permanent lurking from now on. Adios, motherfuckers.

#12 Raj - I had long arguments a decade ago on the Word based spam filter. It drove me crazy esp on Vegas stuff.

#13 FBI just revealed that 5,000 out of their 13,000 agents were focused on January 6th protestors.

39% of the entire bureau

#14 Keep posting. I like your comments and many others do as well
Have you gotten the “I looked up your IP” from a mod yet? So frightening!

#15 Yes, please keep posting....and mind the sauce.

RAJ, we have all had our share of comments that disappear in the Ozone. I myself have had a number also.

Hence why I use Atl-A to capture the comment now and then. in case I need to mod it, to get thru.

#17 I digressed.
The fbi was arresting J6ers as late as 1/3/25. They knew those cases would go nowhere. In many of the January Arrests the fbi presented false evidence. Their intent was to injure as many Trump supporters as possible. I’m for treating said agents the same way they treated J6ers, pro lifers, those who go to Latin mass and school board protesters. Make the SA’s sorry.

#18 ^ Amen, and just who will hire these MoFos for anything after they retire/get fired?

#20 Yeah, If the mods want to know who we are and where we live they can go to the donations section of Fred's PC.

#21 Who will hire the ex-Feebs? Why the LA, Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis, etc. police departments.

But they'll have to relocate.

#22 Who will hire the ex-Feebs?

Sanctuary cities that refuse ICE removal requests could be punished under state, federal legislation

#23 I'm not allowed to post the words Casi** or Ga**.

I don't think you can say "women who drive Subarus", either.

#24 Raj, wrote something up a while back I wanted to share and got spamcopped, hit the Go Back on the browser and recovered my post, but could not find the naughty word. Copied the post to word and proceeded to post the write up in paragraphs until one paragraph didn't post. Challenge Mode was activated at that point and spent some 15 minutes trying to figure the copped word. Seemed rather innocuous until I thought of the other ways it could be used, and how spam was a real problem for a time.

#25 ^ True. I've been here pretty much since the start and still occasionally can't post what I type. I use the back button to try and figure out the offending words. Not always successful

#26 It's ca$in0, Raj. Try it that way. Do you really want spam bots posting billion of ads for that stuff here? And pr0n. Try that.

#27 And try not to be so vulgar with the mods.

#29 Given that the moderators used to have to spend hours a day madly deleting spam posts, I don’t think Fred and badanov are going to turn off the spam filter.
