Now, to fix the gremlins with my wireless…

If you get spammed again, the best way is to add "modlook" to the tags on the right. And add a second tag "ofdustandkings invisible."

The modlook tags are checked regularly (at least once or twice per day) and it's helpful for me to see if it's something I can do as a volunteer, like fish you out of spam right there. Faster and less frustrating than searching for usernames etc…

Thank you! Will this keep blog comments from going into spam now too? Conversations on other blogs are pretty important in building connections in the blogosphere...

I think I clicked away from the page too fast—my wireless is going a bit crazy for some unknown reason. Post again if that is not working…

Also, when I tried to reply to this thread under that login, my response went immediately into spam again.

Does that also mean that my comments on wordpress blogs are going i to spam? Can we fix that?

Did you know that you can find previous comments you made to these forums by clicking on your username on the top right of your screen where it says "welcome…"

So by clicking on my own username I got a list of posts I've made here. Then I pasted "ofdustandkings" over may own name. Here is the profile for ofdustandkings:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/ofdustandkings

Of course that won't show spammed comments. But as I said, you should be good to go now.

Sorry for the frustrating events, but it now looks like life will be happy ever after…

There were responses to another thread as well, however, where Jenia asked for info to be able to transfer my email subscribers over to my self hosted blog via jetpack. They should be under ofdustandkings as well.

Did you come across those?

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/intermittent-custom-domain-crashes?replies=4&view=all

Anyrate, do you have other questions? If so please start a new topic. If you get spammed again come back to this one…

happy blogging!

http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/transferring-followers-1?replies=2#post-1118257

Is that you?

(btw, that was a typo on my part, mis-spelling your thomashanna name. When I dug into the spam I used copy-paste to search

As for why? I don't know. I've been spammed here, as has timethief, and so have many of the other regular volunteers. An akismet sneeze? I cannot explain.

Any reason why I'm getting hit by the filter?

Please provide a link starting with http:// or the username you used or when you made the spammed posts to these forums.

tomashanna has made only two posts to these forums as far as I can see. Sometimes when there is a lot of spam, like now, usernames get a bit confusing, but the spammed posts are all about viewing various sports games for free. Clearly not you, right?

I started a brand new account to respond to you... and now it is showing up pink as well. Why am I getting nailed with spam filters?

If you can fish this account out of spam, it will give you the answers to the account I ACTUALLY need help with.

Thank you!
