Rant On...
I just posted a press release to the site and received an automated message that it was queued for review because it might be spam. According to the directions on the press release page
A press release must be written for the purpose of announcing something newsworthy. Advertisements, promotions, or anything smelling even vaguely of spam will be deleted.
Fair enough. Until you remember that the definition of press release is
A public relations announcement issued to the news media and other targeted publications for the purpose of letting the public know of company developments.
Thanks, post-bot. Now you've got me curious about what keywords trigger the flag and how to avoid them in future.

Ssh - no one really knows - it's a secret designed to bamboozle and frustrate everyone. You can post something designed to offend and it sails through; post something about a cat and it gets blocked. Dumb.

So that's why my c*t posts keep getting rejected!!

Your messages got stuck in the spam queue for reviewing.
I approved one of them on the basis that it was posted in the Press releases forum, but someone else must have nuked your other message while I was reading it.

Quite a lot of them actually.
It raises the question on whether the press releases forum should be excluded from the spam filter, or at least have another threshold.

Thanks for freeing it. I did a 2nd post after the 1st because there was no immediate feedback on what happened. I emailed webmaster and asked them to delete one and they must have done so.

A man pulled up next to a little girl walking home from school and said "If you get in, I'll give you a lollypop".
The girl kept walking.
Following along slowly, the man said "Come on and get in the car with me and I'll give you two lollypops".
She kept her eyes on the sidewalk and continued on her way. The man said "Get in with me and I'll give you this whole bag of lollypops!"
Finally, the girl turned and said "Look daddy, YOU bought the Ford, YOU ride in it!!!"

You can't run through a campground. All you can do is ran since it is past tents.

This is tentamount to jocular abuse!

Plus, the fires in the campground were in tents....

I hear that people from Poland like camping - there's usually at least two Poles in each Tent!

As I usually say: When the pole's ice melts, we will be up to our necks in water. I can't understand what the poles need all that ice for.

Blimey! When was the last time you went camping? Poles? They're so 20th Century!

It was in the 20th Century! Just shortly after the middle of the century, actually!

The one-billion reasons would be the number of humans turned-into-zombies on Earth who used it today.
The one-billion-and-first reason would be Revenant-In-Chief Mark Zuckerberg's crowing about how he rules the roost and owns the hen-house: [^].
FaceBook, Twitter, and their ilk: the post twentieth century's intellectual equivalent of the Black Death.

FarceBok and Twatter have a very serious purpose.
They identify the people who are of no real use to the species, and which can be eliminated.

I, personally, look forward to the B Ark -- it'll be the one with masseuses.

Hadn't thought of that... I don't think the descriptions of the Arks included "house-wives" and other non-employed persons, but I suppose they'd all be on the B Ark as well.
