Too strict administration

[plautus]

Sorry, but if I see multiple threads who got thousands of views but not a single reply, then I must believe something is wrong here.
I once tried to replied to someone and I got the message "Administrator must verify your message before it can be sent"

THIS IS A NO GO!

Plautus, this board gets all sorts of spam so we have filters in place and I can review all postings to see what has been posted and rejected. I just approved your other post which did get caught in a spam filter-- but I can tell you that it is very rare for a post to be mistakenly blocked or delayed.

Unfortunately, because of the high level of spam, if we did not have a strong spam filter in place, I would have to shut down the board entirely. The spammers post links to sites that are infected with malware or sites that are pornographic, and we simply can't risk having those show up on the board.

I think that when you see threads that show thousands of views, many of those "viewers" are search bots or spam bots, and not real people.

There is no chrome extension associated with this site, so we don't know what you are referring to.
