[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 940203, member: 1"] One of the problems with maintaining a public forum is that it sometimes attracts trolling or spamming behavior, complicating our efforts to maintain an open, yet supportive discussion area. Spammers are easy to identify and immediately banned. Trolling is a game about identity deception. The troll attempts to pass as a legitimate participant, but their primary intent is to disrupt the forum or target individual members with offensive, vulgar or pornographic content. Trolls and spammers often post links or use certain phrases or vulgar language, so posts are filtered for certain words, images, bbcode and links. That's why posts wind up in the moderation queue. Established members are exempt from the filter. It's just an automated tool to discourage trolling and help the moderators attempt to distinguish real posts from trolling or spammy postings. [/QUOTE]
