Member 12682271 wrote: disable any suspicious links and explicit contents
I'm curious as to how one would automatically detect suspicious links and explicit content. And if we could detect messages with suspicious links and explicit content, why wouldn't we simply quarantine it as a whole for a few minutes?

Quote: suspicious links and explicit content
if the auto filter thinks the posted content has those suspicious or explicit content(it might not be) then do the solution that I provided instead of marking and displaying "Message Removed". If its really is suspicious or explicit then remove or quarantine it.

We do quarantine it. It goes into moderation. I've also updated the message that's displayed on moderated posts to say "Message in moderation" to make it clearer.

There is no public documentation of how the filter works to avoid being fooled by spammers.
But in this case it is obvious: Your message contains a link and not much more (while being perfectly valid).
It happened to me too in the past. It is better to wait a short time until a message is live rather than having a lot of spam.
Before the filter was introduced, there were spam runs with more than 100 messages in a few minutes hiding all valid messages.
And yes, it would be better to have a different subject like "Waiting for approval" as already suggested. But that is not up to me.

When I kicked the aggregator to pull your feed, it said "Error." When I tried looking at your feed page Chrome had a lot of trouble loading it. There might be an issue there.
Looking at your feed, did you change any settings there? I notice that the full text isn't in the <description> tag. Has it always been that way?
Thanks,

We have moved the site to different hosting and changed it to https but nothing else regarding the RSS. My email marketing depends on the RSS too, and it is working as expected. Can I do something else to assist you in fixing the problem?

Is it possible to put the full content of a single post (preferably a longer one) into the description tag? And give it a rel-tag too? Or at least, temporarily change it so that the full blog entries are in the description tags and then I'll try pulling it again?

Hi Sean,
Can you try to pull it again?
I found that the only change that was made was that last 300 items were returned. I now have changed this number to 50 so that the RSS could be loaded much faster. Maybe this was the problem? Since I don't think that before the full content was displayed in description tags. I use Wordpress, and the RSS is automatically generated, and I don't have control over it.
Thanks,
Anton

Still an error. Can you try reducing it to less than 50? Think really small. Like 5.

I have just change it to 5. Is the problem still there?

The feed is still showing a lot of entries to me. It loads all entries up to April 22, 2014.

Maybe it was some caching issue. I have just deleted the whole site's cache. The last item showed in my browser was published on Sat, 03 Dec 2016 14:21:44 +0000. I have also tested in incognito mode so there shouldn't be a reason to show more items at your end.

Much better. Still an error. Are you sure there's no way to edit your RSS feed? Or to add an alternate feed that you could manipulate? To my recollection the aggregator really does look inside that description tag and it's only happy if the whole blog entry is in there.
Thanks,

Well, probably there is a way. I will try to find some plugin for WordPress for the job. I will write back as soon as I find a way. Thanks.

I have researched the problem. I have checked the Blog Feeds of other CodeProject's MVPs. I think the feed of my site is just fine, displaying the content inside the content tag not in the description. You can check the following feeds: Technical Blog Feeds[^] , Technical Blog Feeds[^] , Technical Blog Feeds[^] , Technical Blog Feeds[^]
Can you check the exact exception thrown by your aggregator maybe there is another problem connected with the articles' content?

Of those the only ones that have successfully pulled recently and are current have a CodeProject category. Can you please try adding that as well?
<category><![CDATA[CodeProject]]></category>

It seems that for WordPress this category tag is added once you set a new tag. So I have done it for my last article.

Still Error. I've consulted a higher power.

Thank you, for the help. Please, update me as soon as you have any news.

The higher powers say we’re getting an error 403 "Forbidden" when we try and download your blog.

Hmm, I see. I immediately wrote to my high powers. And to fix the problem need the following info: do you use some kind of scraper or just read the RSS to fetch the info? What is the user-agent string? I think my high powers need the info the configure the security settings of the site correctly.
Thanks.

We read the RSS directly. We don't pass a UserAgent but can pass whatever's needed if that helps.

I discussed the problem with my developer. He turned off all new security settings for the new site. Can you try to download the RSS now to see how it goes?
Thanks!
