Title: So I'm a spammer because I wanted to edit a post?
Post by Saint Nicholas de la USA on 10/21/15 at 12:15:21

I just tried to edit a post and got the following:

One of form fields contains text which is considered SPAM, you are warned!
You are only allowed -2 more attempt(s) after which you will be banned as spammer!

I've made much longer posts before, and I've edited the same post many more times before, but I've never been warned that I was a spammer until today. Either it's a glitch or it has to do with the content of the post, but if it's the latter, YaBB is not telling me what the offending element is.

You aren't a spammer, I think it's a glitch...

You shouldn't have to worry about this. It says you're allowed -2 attempts until you will be banned as a spammer. If this number (-2) goes down once every time this message appears, it will never hit zero, since it's already negative. (Technically, it may hit zero after 4 billion or something tries, but that'll never happen :P) So no worries :)

Unless it's like T-2 attempts?

It's probably a bluff -- it never seemed to slow down Pobre or all the spammer kiddies before.
