Why do I have to deal with "we can't make sure this message isn't spam" 7/10 times in a single post???

I think it is absurd that almost every time I hit the "preview button" to check how my post will look, I get flagged as spam, have to complete a captcha, and only THEN can I see the preview.

Out of a series of 10 previews and a single post command, I had to go through this 7 times!!! Just have the captcha there all the time if your spam is that bad!

I can't imagine that you have that much spam that you have to drive people away like this. This will make sure that you don't have spam, no doubt. Until all the people who are trying to post leave and all you are left with are the spammers.

thanks for the note and feedback (we removed the cursing, do not do that again, thanks!). we're working on some updates to the anti-spam measures, stay tuned for so upgrades and more features as our team gets back from the holidays.

thanks,

I don't usually post links, but when I do it is from the Adafruit site itself.
And I have to enter the captcha information......

Maybe if the link is to your site no need for the captcha?

I'm definitely appreciative of features like this. With the great team at Adafruit being only about 30-40 souls I'm amazed at everything they provide me for free. Ensuring that the content on these pages is informative and accurate and not just trolling or advertisements is what keeps me coming back to the forums. I definitely appreciate what the Adafruit team is doing to support education and DIY all around the Globe. Thanks guys!
