Dissed by the caption comp

Post by Mikey »

I have just twice in a row received the "spamming the comp contest" message. I am not at my home or mobile IP address, but I input an identifier, and I don't believe I used any phrasing that would trigger an alert. :confused:

Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

Say.... weren't you in that city that got blown up in a mining accident just the other day? Why are you even alive?!

It's also worth pointing out that it is nothing at all to do with your location.

Tried a few different things, but I can't really consider it important enough to pursue it any further. I am pretty damn sure I'm not a bot or advertiser, though.

Have you checked all over for a reset button? Or some sort of electrical socket?

OK the ' problem is fixed. It may perhaps have been the cause of Mikey's problem. If everything after the ' is dropped would there be anything left I wonder?

I found an outlet and tried poking around in it with a fork, but it didn't seem to help.

Literally, not so much. Figuratively... immensely.
