I never check my folder ... and today I did. This is what I found:



I have never clicked "mark as spam" on a forum message.
Are we doing everything possible to avoid being marked as spam?

Please do not pm me, use ron@bitcoin.org.il instead

Depends on your mail provider I guess. My Yahoo mail never labels forum mail as spam although I receive a ton of mail from reports/etc daily. Never tried with my GMail though.

Do you have them listed as safe/added to contacts/not spam? I often find that when it comes to under the radar type stuff not just Bitcoin that it's just the anti-spam kicking in because the software thinks that the emails are coming in from an unusual source and of course, those messages you're showing are automated, so that will most likely be setting it off as well.

That's an ok solution for me (I prefer to think that Gmail will learn, now that I've unmarked all of these as spam.

How about the next poor sap?
The real question is why they were tagged spam to begin with. I had received many bitcointalk emails before these, which passed quite fine.

Are there any industry best practices bitcointalk isn't following?

I'm no programmer at all just to say this is just from experience Cheesy so I couldn't say really but spam prevention tools aren't all that clever, it's a bit like with some anti-virus' where they can get extremely twitchy if something unfamiliar to their database shows up on your PC so I suspect that it will be the anti-spam version of that.

I've seen some end up in my spam box, marked them not as spam, but it doesn't stick, and more end up there from time to time. Plus, I should be getting new topic notifications for Currency Exchange, but I'm not getting 100% and have to check the subforum directly.

Saying that you don't trust someone because of their behavior is completely valid.

I think it only alerts you of new topics.

They might have been moved from other forums, I suppose.
