It's either another bug in this release or you're on a dynamic IP address, and a spammer on your network tried to attack the system.
In the second case, the solution is to shut down your machine (not just reboot) and start it up again so that your IP resets itself to something different.

There is another, far easier way to accomplish the same thing in Windows XP: 1) Click [START] then [RUN] and type "CMD" in the dialog box. Click [OK] 2) At the prompt, type "ipconfig /release" (without quotes) 3) Wait some reasonable amount of time 4) At the prompt, type "ipconfig /renew" (without quotes) 5) Close the CMD window This will get you a new IP address, assuming one is available and you are on DHCP. It won't harm anything if you're not. No rebooting required. |

Phil's blog is protected by a (really nifty) anti-spam plugin made for the Wordpress platform. For the most part it's very good at distinguishing between legitimate comments and spam attempts, but once in a while visitors may be the victims of friendly fire depending on the settings and blacklist logs.
Moved from About BAUT to Bad Astronomy Stories. |

I just got flagged as a spammer, too, and I won't touch the stuff. (My mom kept it in her emergency supplies, and we pointed out to her that she was pretty much condemning us to starve to death after a major earthquake.)

That's the one I got, anyway. (And I hadn't even complained that Phil has a wrong "its" in there somewhere!)

I tried to post again today, and got the same message. However, I notice that my previous post has shown up in the comments at about the time position that I posted it--so the BA must have reviewed it, and allowed it to post. Unfortunately, its message was lost, in the shuffle. My post today only repeats what I said before, more or less, but now it's in response to today's blog.
|

My post yesterday did not show up in the comments. I guess you have to email each time you get the message, they're not automatically reviewed (of course?).
|
|

|
They should show up automatically, though some get sent to a moderatiuon queue which I do check (those are generally 50/50 spam). I am fed up with the spam filter, and I'm still planning on changing commenting systems.

I was able to post to the blog today, so maybe everything is cleared up.
PS: my post to "Planetary scientists support planet definitions" eventually showed up, but the one I made to "I made a massive mistake" did not. All three make essentially the same point, though, that the moon cannot be moved far enough out by the tidal friction mechanism to take the earth/moon barycenter outside of the earth. |

I am getting a load of error messages everytime I make a post, but when I go back in the post is there

There are some issues right now. I added some phrases to the spam killer, and it freaked out, and now I can't fix it. That prompted me to try to connect the blog to BAUT again, but ran into another problem, but I'm hoping to fix that one soon too.

If it helps these were the error messages I got when posting a comment to one of blogs

Yeah...I've given up on reading the blog since I can't post to it...a shame really...
Hopefully, the "connection" between this BB and the BA's blog will be made soon...
