Trialling a new anti-spam system

We wanted to let you know that we’re making some changes to the way we detect and remove spam on the Online Community.

Our technical team has recently carried out an in-depth analysis of our current spam filtering system and identified the reasons why genuine posts were being incorrectly flagged as spam. We're now ready to trial a new system which we hope will improve things. That trial will begin on the morning of Tuesday 29th April.

We know how important it is that the Online Community remains a safe and welcoming space. You, our fantastic members, play a huge role in this by flagging content that might be spam, or breaks the rules, or suggests that someone might be struggling. The moderation team is incredibly grateful for your continued support.

As we test the new system, we’d really appreciate your help. Please continue to flag anything you think could be spam, is against the rules, or is concerning in any way. Your input really makes a difference and helps us respond quickly.

Thanks again for being such a supportive and engaged community.

  • Hi again!

    We've been told the technical team can test the new spam filtering system earlier than expected. Since the current system is causing so many excellent posts to be incorrectly marked as spam, we are very keen to go ahead with the change as soon as possible. Therefore, the new system will be trailed tomorrow morning, on Wednesday 16th April

    We are so grateful for the support and encouragement you all provide through the Online Community. Please continue to flag any post you think could be spam, is against the rules, or is concerning in any way. 

    Many thanks,
