Hello,

I have installed this mod and it is working great with most of the spammers posts with URLs getting moderated. It has reduced our manual moderation works so much and all admins/mods in my site just love this mod.

The auto-moderation keywords that I have included are "www, .com"
I see an issue with 2 cases:

1) Replies with quotes are getting moderated, if the quoted post had an external or internal link in it.
For example - refer the below posts. The quoted post 'Hello Ladies' had an internal link in it. The reply post 'hi everyone' though did not have a link, got moderated because the quote had one.

Quote:

Hello Ladies!

One hallmark of a good community is how well members know and connect with each other.

Our community is far flung. We have members not only from India, US, UK, Sinagpore etc, we also have members from Republic of Congo, Cyprus, Iraq, Afghanistan, Botswana etc. Even though we are all geographically distant, we can use this forum to know each other well and build a personal connection. The internet can truly make distance disappear!

In an effort to build a tight-knit community, we are starting this thread named "Who am I?" where members can write their profile for others to read.

Let's know each other beyond login IDs!

Moderators of Indusladies!

Please note: This is part II of the "Who am I?" thread. Please go here for "Who am I? - Part I".

hi everyone
am not new to this site but long back i was using this site...hopefully i recalled my id..!!!.thx to indus admin..for .sending a reminder .... hi ladies...who are online

2. The 2nd post by the same member (who posted the above reference post) also got moderated. Though it did not have any link in it, it just had a smilie included from my forum.
I am guessing it got moderated because her 1st post still remains moderated, so the subsequent posts are also treated the same as spam and getting moderated.

Is this right?

Appreciate your clarifications on the above and some quick tips on handling it.

Thanks.
