Is there a glitch making the emails go slow to receive?

I've not received several of mine this week.

Someone I know said that they received mine 90 minutes after I sent it.

There should be no delay in emails. We created a new spam filter a couple of days ago, but it proved too restrictive. We relaxed it a little while ago, though, so things should be back to normal on the email front. Thanks for reporting the issue, everybody.

most sites do

it's to prevent scammers and spammers

like if you mention "money" or "cash" a lot of sites will automatically prevent it from going through

or if you send the same email to more than a couple of people it flags you as a spammer

and stuff like that

well it's not what i would call normal, i'll filter my own mail thanks & a spam button for our own use would be helpful.

Yes, and as quiet notes, this is for spam guard protection. As for filtering your own, i really don't think the site will go to that expense. Those filters may be adjusted somewhat, but they will remain in place, i'm pretty sure.

Can't be working too well, or maybe they don't work on the IM's. Had a guy ask me for money on IM, I told him no and reported him. Was a good week-10 days ago. He is still active, so he slipped through the filters or, again, they don't work on the IM. spock

ok thanks Mark but, just using someone's name is enough for it to 'not arrive' in my mail box - go figure?

charles said the other day that they had implemented a new filter program and it turned out to be much more aggresive than they anticpated

so I think they prolly had to take it down to rework it



%% I've worked with a lot of software engineers and seen personally what a pain in the azz it is to tweak on programs. one "(" or a "," out of place can ruin the whole thing

If anybody would like us to look for emails to/from a particular users, shoot me an email. As quiet_2008 pointed out, we made an adjustment which turned out to be too much last week. We undid that adjustment at the end of the week, though, so it should be back to normal.
