I'm not sure what I'm meant to be seeing here.
Can you post the plain text message as a reply to this message here?
Be sure to check "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML", below so there's no stripping or processing of the text.
cheers

My previous account has been released by your watch dogs...
The message was the below, but here I used replaced < and > by '& lt' and '& gt' (without space of course)
(1957)
<link>
JAILHOUSE ROCK (1957)
<link>
68' Comeback
<link>

If you post content wrapped in angle brackets (<,>), while also leaving "Treat my content as plain text, not as HTML" unchecked, then the system will think you're trying to include a HTML tag and will treat it accordingly (ie probably remove it since it's improper HTML)
Much easier: simply past the URL directly into the message: JAILHOUSE ROCK (1957) - Elvis Presley - Classic Movie Musical Numbers - YouTube[^]

Holy sh*t what is here? Every message becomes first 'under review'?
|
|
|
|
|
No, no simply paste... that I did and then I disapeard as a member. The one above was only to try to explain because of what post I disapeard...
The post with these real (abusive?) links was then my end here 
|
|
|
|
|
OK, so I don't understand what you pasted and what you expected to see
cheers

Btw. You recoverd the link which I did not mentioned here. From where you have this?
I assume from the original message.
If yes:
Why the post with such harmless links has been deleted?
Why that previous account (posted the 'elvis' links in question) has finally removed?
|
|
|
|
|
- I got the link from Google
- Posts that have links are what spammers post. Our spam AI thought your post looked like all the spam we get and so marked it as spam and sent it to moderation. Nothing personal...
- I haven't looked at your previous account. If the members collectively decided you were posting spam, or being abusive, or being a troll, then your account would have been removed. I'm happy to reinstate accounts for members who wish to contribute constructively to our code-sharing community.
cheers

And you are getting too close to the troll limit. So please chill out a bit and don't be disrespectful with the ones trying to help you (a.k.a. Chris).

Yeah. Do we really, really, really need it? It's becoming a Denial of Service.

There is a bunch of message closed in the board of the weekly poll.
Could someone with a big hammer clean that up? Going one message at a time is a bit annoying.

Matthew, what happens to a message when we reject it in the automated detector list?
With questions and answers, they don't appear anywhere, so I suspect they are deleted "properly".
Does the same happen with messages as well?
If it does, would it be possible to delete the placeholder "this message is under review" rather than replace it with "message closed"?
That way, the forums wouldn't get clogged up with "closed messages" like they do sometimes at the moment?
It looks like Mr Keyboard is stepping up his game and while we can cope with kicking his sock puppets, he's leaving a fair bit of mess behind him.

The buggers are persistent...
One page and a half again with message closed.
Could you have a look again please?

They're still at it on last weeks survey. 
They seem to've gotten bored and stopped on Sunday though; so hopefully this will be the last time you need to bounce the rubble with bigger nukes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Is it possible to add an hard filter to kill Mr Keyboard before Spam & Abuse watch has to intervene? I mean they're always fresh accounts that publish a short string of text that does not pertain to any dictionary.
For trolls and DOSsers like those an hard and fast automated response is usually the only way to stop them.

Trouble is that that could easily apply to much of my spelling, if I don't notice and fix it.
And many non-native english speakers are worse than that, so it's going to be very prone to false positives - which with an automated system are a very bad idea!
Perhaps instead a "harder kill" for Protectors and above? 2 or 3 of their votes kill, instead of the 10 we require for non-staff kills?
That gives us some margin for human error alone with a faster kill rate.

Adding together new account and no words is already a passable filter, consider that there are ways to calculate distance from the nearest words.
If I write "steinf" (my latest misspelled word for string) it has a certain distance from the nearest words, while the usual garbage (e.g. iglshdifnud) is pretty far from anything in the dictionary. Since predictive text works precisely using this concept of distance it /should/ be feasible.
