each time my post gets flagged for spam and 3 escort spams get on the main index, I melt a little

Jan Cumps

Motivational dip. I flagged 3 posts this week-end because they were for escorts, and they are still up. I wrote a nice blog post this week-end about an industrial sensor, related to a road test, and it's off to the spam queue.

    Are they? Could you provide a link so I can check that? As far as I can tell they've gone into the abuse queue on verint.

    Yep... I had to raise the 'abusive link count' which didn't catch the escort spam which had just under the limit, and then other content gets caught for different reasons. Meanwhile there's still spam content that does get caught.

    I'm not a fan of how Verint's classifying the spam or its 'reputation system' (and neither are other customers of Verint). There are changes to it, but they're in the next version of the platform, and we're moving to that later this year.

    We need a way of whitelisting trusted users, and I don't have that yet (verint believes it should be the reputation system but it doesn't appear to work).

    Yes. That would solve the spam vs genuine posts enigma. And it would give me the endorphins that I'm entitled to when pressing "Post" after creative labour.
    Seeing your post go to the queue is a downer - just when you're excited about releasing it. That's why I posted this.
