Akismet "spam protection" is garbage, but it annoys users very well.

It is hard to post anything with this ultra-cr@ppy Akismet garbage blocking it...
Please... if you have a forum where users with help can go for help.. then do not sabotage it by annoying the same users with ridiculously poor filters like that.-thank you !

@ankep Please be patient. You are new here, so you have no reputation points yet. The spam-blocker is designed to slow down spammers to prevent them making more than one post in five minutes, or posting a lot of links.
When you get a couple of points, the time limit will be reduced as the forum software recognises that you are a genuine user, here to get support, and not just to spam.

@pesala
Thanks for the explanation.
It would be better to accept the post, and mark it for manual review, or similar.
Think of it: a new user posts such description for the first time, then the post is just impossible to finish, and a desperate series of attempt to modify it starts - before trying looking for other forums or places users roam. -
@ankep All moderators and ambassadors are volunteers helping in their spare time. We have more than enough to do already without having to approve posts.
If new users would search before posting, a lot of posts would be unnecessary, but that will never happen.
Search for Akismet to find several previous topics.
