Thanked 64x in 59 Posts Gil: 56,241 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 56,241 Donate  | Filter problems with the site, please be patient As some of you are experiencing, we are still having problems with a spam filter we use to combat the RMT ads that spam this site (which most of you don't see because either the previous working filter took care of it or the mod staff did). A change was made recently due to some heavy spamming from a certain group of individuals and that change seems to have adverse affects.
If you've been a victim of the message rewriting, please understand that it is not our intentions to harass or attack you (we were saving that for the actual spammers). It is a mistake and we apologize for the troubles it has caused you. We are trying to get this fixed as soon as possible, but only the Admins can affect this kind of change so we ask that you please be patient.
Thank you for your understanding and again we deeply apologize for the inconvenience.
