Hotline operation: new spam filter?

Question

To those who operate the Hotline -- I've just made repeated attempts to respond to a question with a link to another internet site.  Is that no longer possible?  After five attempts I gave up.  Kind of frustrating when there is a really good answer in another location and you can't point folks to the correct place...

So sorry about this -- we had the same. Those who use the site the most received the most spam, which doesn't seem fair. Our apologies!

SeaJambon, you're right -- this was a temporary measure our tech team decided on to stop the sudden flow of spam comments in the past day. They're working on a more sustainable solution as we speak!

I answered a question earlier today, and included a link -  like SeaJambon's, mine was filtered out. I was hoping to be helpful! No spam issues here, though.

Et tu??  Same Spam flooding here as well, but looks like the F52 team has taken care of it!

I also did that and my answer was filtered out, but really it's ok with me last night to this morning my inbox was filled with almost 200 spam comments. I leave my cell phone on at night and had to turn it off it was alerting me of emails all night long.
