    hi!

    I'm new here, I've used and hosted some forum 25 years ago, it was probably easier at this time :)

    Do we have some info about the spam filter? Most of my first messages were rejected by the filter, I had to remove entire chunks and change some words to pass through. Is there a list a forbidden strings so we don't have to guess?

    Regarding moderation, can we see somewhere why some messages were not accepted for publication?
    I gave some feedback for a tool on its dedicated thread, my message was pending approbation by a moderator and after a few days it seems gone (I guess it was rejected).
    It was just some simple feedback after testing the tool, took me maybe one hour.
    I read all forum rules again but don't see any I could have broken (except maybe the item "False information", but if that's the case it was not on purpose at all).
    This is not a complaint, maybe there was a good reason and I missed it, I just want to know more for future posts.

    Which brings me to "old threads". In my old times, it would be a sin to create "duplicate" threads, and people would point you to the 10 years old thread on page 42 about the same topic. But here I've seen the warning that a thread was "old" (~50 days which seemed very recent to me), and suggested that I create a new one.
    However this was the only "dedicated" thread for this tool, by the author of the tool, it felt wrong to create a new one. By the way that's the thread were my message wasn't published by moderation, but I don't think that's the reason.
    Anyway, it was a bit confusing, but maybe I'm too old :)

    Last, I thank you all: authors of the game, mods authors, community managers, players… I read a lot of interesting stuff here already.
