Go to your Anti Spam blacklist and enter socialise in the "keywords" box

If a close variant of socialise comes up just click on the green tick and you should get through Ok.

cialis

Thanks for the quick reply:

I tried socialise but nothing came up. Then I shrank the word letter by letter:

Socialise =0
Socialis =0
Sociali =0
Social =0
socia = returned these two:

onlinegamingassociation.com
rethyassociates.org

This is weird, no? Is this how this is supposed to work?

You can set $debug=true; (or 1, can't remember -both will do I presume) in /conf/_basic_config.php and it will spit out the term that's troubling.

Good luck

cialis

"so cialis e"

Assuming this is the match that is causing the problem I'll give you a bit of a hint: it is no longer an official keyword. Through phpmyadmin you can go to your evo_antispam table and EMPTY it, then edit your evo_settings table for something like "antispam_last_update" which you would change to 2001-01-01. Next you return to your blog and "get the latest antispam update" until it doesn't return long lists. Actually you'll notice the date stamps for before and after match - that will be the clue that you've gotten the full list again.

See what used to happen is keywords got added without fully understanding the negative side effects, such as blocking "specialist" or "socialise" when you really wanted to block "cialis". Now we include "cialis." and "cialis-", but even at that they're not the best keywords possible. We learned to love "fully punctuated" keywords. Give and take to balance yah?

BTW the full list lost well over 1000 keywords when I was purging keywords that (a) never should have been published and (b) were no longer catching anything. Haven't done it in a while though.

EdB,

Thanks. That did it. I purged my antispam table and re-loaded it with new entries. I was surprised how fast the anti-spam site replied back. It took less than 2 minutes to get the full download.

The old list was pretty tight because I never got any spam...let's see how this new one performs.

Thanks again for the quick reply.

Edgar.
