They're all over the place now! I've reported about ten or more posts in the last month, and they keep on coming! I only saw one just now in GM's Last Legacy level topic.
What's happening? The filter was working just fine before... the server toggle...
What's with all the damned spambot posts lately?

I's because they aren't posting hundreds of links to sites, so the filter sees them as normal posts. You won't be able to get it to understand what's being written.

But even if they're normal posts, what happened to the three-approved-posts filter? I thought that applied no matter what...

Other than that, the three post approval should be working properly...

The three post filter was removed because it was buggy. Only spambots smart enough to get past the captcha but stupid enough to forget to post links can get through now.

In fact, they post links.
In their signatures.
