This probably doesn't cause a problem normally because it's rare for one of those situations to occur when the current user has fewer than 6 posts (or isn't an admin or mod). I've sent a PM to the spam-o-matic author, so hopefully we'll get it worked out one way or another.

Anyway, if you want to try a temporary fix, you could try going to Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager, and find the section "Product: Spambot Stopper", and edit the "Post to Thread" plugin. Find this line:

      $dm->set_info('is_automated', 'sbs');

and change 'sbs' to 'rss'.

So I made the temporary fix changing above from 'sbs' to 'rss'
then Re-enabled posting notices to the thread..

Now have to wait for a new RSS post
will update as soon as one arrives
-Unfortunately this may not happen for at least another day or so.


Thanks for looking into this!
