SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

We seem to have a problem with people who like to post long replies getting switched to moderated status as a result of an automatic spam filter that doesn't get checked often (if ever).  I too like to post long replies - what behavior do I need to avoid so this doesn't happen to me?

The decision to moderate your posts is based on past posts that you have made. It's out of anyone's hands. Try not to make your posts sound like spam - avoid "$" and other things that sound like you are selling something. Other than that, there is nothing else that can be done.

Okay, that's what I'm looking for.  Thanks.

Supposedly. I tried tracking down the module responsible for this, but I couldn't.

Huh. That is pretty problematic,  because I know in the old site, anyone who had more than 15 posts or so wouldn't be having this problem.
