It looks like your spam filter doesn’t allow consecutive posts.

I try not to post about spam on my blogs. My rule is that i delete anything off topic. But when i’ve blogged about spam, well, it’s open season for spammers.

Blake seems to be trying to tickle your filter. But it’s too funny for real spam. I’d like a spam filter that recognizes humor. If it can do that, it would probably pass a Touring Test. If it could do that, it could probably decide if a comment was spam or not, and nearly always get it right. It could also probably write my articles for me. A real time saver.

Amara, I think I recovered it — just continue to let us know, hopefully we can train it to trust you.

Your overzealous spam filter picked up one comment of mine for the thread: Open Systems (this happened before). I embedded two links in those sentences, so maybe that was too much?

Yep. It will continue to be possible that comments will be eaten; but now, if you let us know, we should be able to recover them.

Does this mean that if I wrote one of those comments that was deleted by your overzealous spam filter, that I should resend?

Science-Themed Lolcats…

All right, I’ve resisted long enough. Sean Carroll has now officially asked if Cosmic Variance should host a physics-themed lolcat contest. My answer:
You’re going to regret this.

I’ve already tossed out a few:

Cosmic Variance should participate in Project Honey Pot (it's free of charge).
