That's weird and simply shouldn't happen. What's your username? I did do a deployment earlier, and since I don't have a queue in front of the this (and nginx isn't setup to replay POST requests yet) it is possible that is why.

meowmeowmeow. My first comment included a picture (rabbit showing tongue) and I received a pair of emails for verifying my account & comment at 23:30:33 EET, according to server logs. I promptly verified both, but that comment never showed up.

The spam filter thought it was spam :) It should have shown a message. Right now verifying your comment doesn't unmark it as spam. I'm still contemplating that.

Edit - it should show now. Just clicked "not spam" in the dashboard...

Oh, I actually saw that message. I thought it just meant all messages from new users would be flagged as spam until verified.

Ah, well after I deploy this next round of changes verified accounts bypass the spam filter (and verifying a comment marks it as not-spam).

I'll experiment with this. I bet it'll have to be configurable in the future.
