I have gotten that message a couple of times.  Always when trying to post something with a link in it.  I guess some domains (or subdomains) are blacklisted.  If you were trying to paste an article w/links, try removing them.

No link, just words tried 3 times, message said 1 chance left and i will be banned as a spammer.  What words are banned?

No other words that are not seen on here everyday. I could understand i time but i logged out and back again same thing happened so some word or combination cant make it past the tall table gods.  Huh

Im going to post this and then again with the words i used if it does not show up in the next 5 min...i got banned....bring me back.

OK here are the words i used


Life begins at erection.

Oops

BTW

I did tell a story as an alalogy to the the subject, no profanity or anything that would be bad enough to be banned?
Maybe the tall table gods are Tbaggers?

I guess those were not it?????

If you get banned what happens and how do you make it back?

Email Mysterious John, these are probably stock anti-spam functions of YaBB that he has turned on to keep all the huge mass of spammers at bay.  

We have had / do have problems with spammers you know.  

This is an election year and spam filters will be kicking out anything that sounds like intentional political spamming.

Don't confuse moderators with administrators, or overestimate what mods can do.  We cannot manipulate user accounts in any way.  If the software auto-bans you, just make another account 'cause we can't bring you back.. no matter what category you posted the message in or by what mysterious mechanism your account got messed with in the first place.  Do not taunt the machine!  Grin

PS. The software probably goes into conniptions if you talk about erections because that word is strongly associated with boner-pills, which are the main products spammers are always hawking. Combine that word with "sale" or "buy" or some unknown combination, and you set off a trigger.
