LOL, great graphic Matt. Good to see you’ve maintained your sense of humor.

Don’t worry it won’t happen, see that is what having faith in your team sounds like…..

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, if the Mets blow what was a seven-game lead with 17 games to go, it would be unprecedented – no team has ever been up seven with 17 to play and not captured the division or league.

Matt, perhaps there are toggles in the SPAM filter you can adjust to be more lenient, or exclude only some particular words? Or perhaps the web host can remove the current spam filter and install one with more options?

Disallowing the F-word, or other “abusive” curse words is one thing, excluding the use of “friggin” is just silly.

Sure, this isn’t a democracy and it’s your blog, and we all acknowledge that. But metsblog is the de facto location for Mets fans to go and have their voices heard. I think that brings some responsibility along with it, aside from just “that’s how it is” or “the SPAM filter is doing it’s job”.

If we are re-posting it’s because we are confused about how the new system is working.

Just my two cents.

Amazing, see what these Mets do to us? It’s crazy how this team can make people go so damn crazy that we actually screw up this wonderful website. But I have to admit, I’m feeling just as crazy these days. Not sure I can take much more of this heartbreak!

I’ve had posts held up and have not used any “racy” language. It’s just an overinclusive SPAM filter. No biggie.

i guess this is what happens when classless, ignorant posters come out of the shadows to slam the team with attacks about their personal life or intelligence.

you’d think people would take the lead of the matt’s blog and act civil. this is matt’s business. why would people put the reputation of his business in jeopardy by posting threat or inappropriate language? he’s at a point that he’s interviewing omar.

and you call willie “dumb” and “moron”

There were also posts that were kind, sweet and polite, containing no need for concern, and those were held up, as well.

I know. But, in my admin, it appears every time you posted it.

Last night about 3-4 of my posts disappeared into a black hole otherwise known as Metsblog. They were angry posts but not racy or rude. It was like trying to scream but realizing you have no voice, after a while I gave up and went to bed.
