UPDATE: Okay, I was able to comment on something, so I assume it's let up, it doesn't stop me from being a little pissy about this.  NOW I have to comment with clear pauses between each comment for fear of being blocked or something.  Anyway, I think it's fixed now.

I'm a little tiffed today because whatever DA uses to detect Spam isn't working very well.  A friend submitted several (like 50 or more) little sketch pics and to clear out my submission box AND give them a few funny comments to enjoy, I was going through and putting comments on each one, one right after another.  Unfortunately, this automated system they use detected how rapidly I was writing comments and immediately determined that it was Spam and blocked me.  Now I can't comment on ANYTHING!  I sent in the complaint at the Help Desk, but I dunno when they'll get back to me or when this block will be listed, but it really put me in a bad mood when my friend's funny art had me in a good mood, so that's a real shame.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the first person to complain about this, but guys, when you use an automated system on an art site you have to have some better means for it to tell when something's up, I couldn't possibly have been commenting as rapidly as a Bot or something.
