Interesting. The last update of Cleanfeed was applied in June and after
that time these posts were rejected as spam. There is indeed a spammy
pattern in these posts (and newsguy postings in general get a negative
initial score, just like Google), but they should not be rejected. Will
look into this and hopefully get it fixed before the next posting.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Now I imitated Rob's form and sent it to all three groups. It came

Thanks for doing the tests, I guess the best way to find out is for someone
to ask ES, they have a feedback form on their web site. If you do contact
them please let us know when they reply.

I suspect they are filtering your posts on purpose, somebody probably
complained (probably more than one person), Ray has been known to filter
out a specific individual or type of post. It obviously isn't you,
otherwise your followups wouldn't appear.

I find it far more likely that it triggered automatically because the
content of the post is the same each time.

Asking ES for feedback is the best option, I guess.

Now you need to repeat your test every week for the next 414 weeks,
and see how long before they don't show up.
