It never ceases to amaze me that each new messaging technology "discovers" the "spam" problem, and then it takes lots of effort to reinvent the wheels already invented elsewhere.
Keyword based spam filtering is so 1993. It doesn't work, never has. And whatever you're using managed to "flag" one of my messages a few days ago for "moderation", despite my having been on this forum since its inception, with over a hundred posts under my belt, which should have contributed a very strong non-spam component to any scoring that's going on, which suggests that either there's no scoring in use, or it is kind of primitive. Which brings me back to ... sigh, why does every new technology seem to think its problems haven't been solved before.
