| | Posted: | | | | After scanning a bit through their website and reading about their ideas I assume that the first thing the filter has to cut out are their own comments. Goshh, scarcely read such a crap.  | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

The software will sit on the server side of a website and examine new postings for signs that the contributor is not making sense. These might include repeat letters (e.g. 'amazinggggg') and text-speak such as 'LOL' (for 'laughs out loud'). I already see two postings which the filter would have blocked.  | | | Martin Zuidervliet
