Here’s what happened to me:

1) A post went to electron heaven, i.e., it seemed to go through, but did not appear in the thread.

2) So I repeated the post, only to have the board software tell me it had previously been posted. Though it hadn’t.

3) So I put up a test post, which stated that it was a test and could be deleted.

4) The test post went up, so I tried to edit it into the message No. 1 which had been “disappeared”.

5) That definitely and for sure set off the spam filter, which deleted my test post and wouldn’t let me post anything on the Belmont Club for the rest of the day. I complained to Richard and he reset things so my deleted posts went up retroactively.

6) But, according to Richard, something like this happened to other posters too.
