Brian Butterworth: This is a test to see if the changes I have made to stop the endless messages being sent to Askimet have worked.

Chris.SE: Yes, it's getting bad.

The spam detector has run too hot..... " Since December 1, your account made 11,822 API calls, compared to your plan's limit of 10,000."

Chris.SE: As long as you tick the checkbox it when it shows then that is fine.

It may or may not appear for people based on what the likelihood of spam being posted is, as far as I understand.

I've changed the way the spam checker works again. This is a test to check you can still post messages here!

Chris.SE: The problem is that the system I'm paying for captures thousands of unwanted posts, but it still lets some through.

StevensOnln1: I'm in communications with Askimet as to why they are letting so many things though. I paid for a year-long subscription.

I agree a report-spam button would be a good idea, but that would take programming and I've got a lot on.

@Stephen

The local TV stations were created in places where frequencies could be allocated, rather than public need.

Chris.SE: I think that was the idea. At the time I was quite supportive of this as an idea, but it seems that it was too late.

In the states the local programming is inserted into one of the networks, but that wasn't possible here with how our TV system was set up with Regions first.

I guess if they had been able to take something like Sky 3/Mix as a feeder for most of the time it might have worked up there at the top of the EPG.

It's a bit sad how it all worked out in the end.
