Subject: I'm having problems with twit control

Written By: ChrisBodilyTM on 07/03/06 at 3:51 pm

Nickelodeon Idiot is up now as an album, and I have been trying in vain to comment on my parodies and provide MP3s of the original songs to make pacing easier for those who haven't already read the parodies as individual entires. It says I have to wait five minutes. Five minutes later, I try again, and the still says me that twit control is in effect and I need to wait five minutes.

Is anyone else having these twit control problems?

I believe ChuckyG did a software modification a while ago that prevents many full URLS, other than AmIRight or Inthe00s.com, from being posted in comments. It's part of limiting spam, and is probably the reason you are getting twit control.

IMO, the best way to give all of the MP3 URLs is to list them here, and then give the thread URL in the parody comments.

Red Ant is right,  I had to put a limit on urls of any sort.  It's mostly working, though occasionally someone just spams random junk which is harder to program against.

Anyways, when something hits the spam filter, I usually don't say that's why, to keep the spammers from trying to figure out why.
