Takingitglobal censorship
May 12, 2012

I am very annoyed with TIG. I tried to post a thread about China's recent threat to start a war with
the Philippines over a sand bank in the South China Sea.
When I pressed POST, a message came up informing me I had just posted SPAM. If I felt my thread was
not SPAM, I should submit it for consideration. Well, two days have past, and my thread still hasn't
appeared in the Current Events forum.
Meanwhile, a thread titled "Brand new Toshiba - 32C110U - LCD TV - 720p" posted by "smartcompany" is
prominently displayed in this same Current Events forum.
WHAT IS GOING ON???? Is criticism of China automatically rejected as spam??? I think this is a
blatant example of censorship. Your spam sensors are really just Chinese censors!!! Don't expect me
to continue participating in TIG if this goes on.

We addressed this question & issue in the 'Spam on TIG' forum, which can be found here:

The thread has been approved. It simply triggered our spam detection engine, which is powered by

Yes, the Spam detection is very, very sensitive. I wrote an article pointing out the hypocracy of
the US in its witch hunt for Julian Assange and it was labelled Spam.
I can't think what was spam about it. I was not selling or promoting anything.
Weird.

I have carefully looked at the posts that I have done that have been labeled as spam but fail to see
why the site would classify them as such.
