Finally caught up on the spam queue for linkbacks and approved about 600 hundred of those.
Approved about 5 threads from the thread spam queue too.
As always, if you post a thread and load the first post with tons of images and if you happen to have posted less than 100 times then there's a really good chance you're going to end up in the spam queue.
Not that I know that for a fact, I don't. The spam detection is done by Akismet http://akismet.com/ and I only run Akismet against those who have posted less than 100 times. It just appears to be a trend that Akismet is marking some threads as spam falsely when there are lots of images. It's a trend and not fact though as quite a few aren't marked as spam.
Anyhow... if you find your thread not appearing, ask yourself if it was loaded with images. If it was, there's a good chance it's in the spam queue and I will approve it within a day.
To avoid this... post fewer images in the first post (one or two) and put the rest in a reply to the first post. This means at least the thread will be visible immediately even if it takes me time to approve the reply which may still have gone into the spam queue.
