Comment on Automatically hiding spam works

  1. Cool, I'm the special .7% that got incorrectly marked as spam, am I? Great knowing the hard work I put into my writing has gone to waste. Was it the stylistic use of special characters? Trust me. I don't like sports. I just want people to read my writing. Hope this gets resolved quickly and I'm notified when my work is in the clear again. (That's a hard 'when,' not 'if.') Thanks.

      Hi,

      We regret any confusion caused when your work was incorrectly identified as spam. Your work was confirmed as "Not Spam" and is visible to other users.

      Unfortunately, the filter will occasionally mark works as spam that are not. We do try to swiftly review works that have been initially identified as spam of any kind. In general it should never be longer than a few hours, though our response times can and will vary because we are such a small team of volunteers.
