There is an automated system which monitors every post before it appears, and if it decides it may be spam (or you have a black mark against you already) your message will be passed to a moderation queue for a human to review. If the human decides to let it through, the system learns from that and treats similar messages and users less "spammishly". If it's blocked, the the system learns from that as well and will apply "black marks" to the user as appropriate.

The system works well - we had floods of spam from time to time and they have been either mitigated or eliminated by this. I know it's a PITA - I've had to moderate my own messages in the past because the system got a bit over-zealous - but it's a necessary evil in a world where a site with nearly 15,000,000 active members is a spam target. Sigh | :sigh:
Try to live with it, it generally doesn't last long and we do try to release messages as fast as we can - but we are all volunteers so we do have other things to do from time to time! Laugh | :laugh:
