Spam notification on comments

[Wrynn]

It would be really nice if the notification told you what part of the comment was considered spam, cause having to go through a long comment to find the exact part the filter doesn't like can be a real pain in the ass.

In my experience it's usually something that looks like an url.for example like this.

Not once have I had it look like a URL. It's always been a single word like fun. Seriously, try putting fun in a sentence by itself. You can't, the system thinks that's spam for some reason. And it's not the only one.

I tried posting a link the Whitby Distillery on one of my own chapters. The link was flagged as spem I mentioned it to friedman though.

Another long comment ruined because somewhere in there somehow it had spam. Nothing that looked like a URL, just normal words and no bloody notification on which part of a whole damn paragraph was the problem. Just spam. Not at all helpful!

Could you send me the comment, either here or via DM, so that I can improve the filter?

I'd love to, but while trying to take it apart to see which word the filter didn't like, the whole thing got erased, and I didn't bother trying to rewrite it. I can tell you they were normal words used in regular sentences. No reason I could see to block it.

I'll see what I can do to improve the spam filter overall and reduce these false positives.

Friedman, I am DM-ing you a comment that it's blocking for spam. Maybe you can tell me why?

I was able to modify it to pass. Looks like the spam filter doesn't care much for ellipses.
