I try to put more thought into my comments. But I will contact you if it still doesn't post my comments. Sorry if I was I being reptitive but I was only complimenting the FBB in the pic.
The thing is, generic compliments that a bot could have written just aren't interesting to other site users, and they are the ones who will read your comments.
If you compliment something specific about the pic, like "The lighting in this pic really brings out her biceps!" it will get accepted (as long as you don't comment the same thing repeatedly).

Okay. Now I understand fully.
> "She's so thick and beautiful! Cue the Photoshop complaints.
This comment was very close, the generic "She's so thick and beautiful" is what got you.
Then you tried to append random stuff on top of it, but the filter actually penalizes appending small amounts of text to comments that were recently rejected (< 10 minutes ago). I started tracking rejected comments and saw that people were reacting to (correct) rejections of vapid drooling by adding more sentences of vapid drooling afterward, and this would get accepted, so I put in an extra safeguard against that.
> The criteria is a moving target, and appears to have been applied to users on an individual basis.
Not sure what you mean by "applied to users on an individual basis", but there is nothing hardcoded in it to target specific individuals, i.e., nothing like "if user is real_iluvmuscle, then [apply extra stringent criteria]".
It is user-specific in the sense that some users will trigger it more often than others depending on comment content and frequency.
Thank you for the explanation, it makes sense.
Part of the problem with this is the "rules" are so vague and arcane that it's literally hit or miss. I have no way of "improving" my "comment quality" because the parameters are obscure and apparently being tinkered with on the fly too. I still see pointless short 2-3 word comments from the same few people. The comment quality has not noticeably improved from what I can see. The only difference I notice is that sometimes I cannot comment. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when it happens or why. It's clearly not the comment length, I've determined that. It's not because my comments are repetitive either. I think this was well-intentioned, but I'm not sure what value it's really bringing.
i think this is a pretty good example of what we should be shooting for in comments. Although it doesn't have to be this in depth:

I don't think my comment, which kicked off more discussion, would warrant creating a new forum thread for it. but it's not a 27-comment string of drooling comments or "wows" or "boings" or emoji strings. I don't think every post would deserve more comments either, which is what I think is, in part, what Chainer is trying to get at. I've had a couple of pretty innocuous comments get caught by the filter recently and I decided not to post at all because they didn't add anything to the discussion, or start one.
I'd be fascinated to see the stats on the average number of weekly or monthly comments before and after this went into effect.
I'm half expecting this to go the way of the great copyright crackdown/photo purge of several years ago, when many of us just stopped participating in posting photos altogether.
Ah, but that would require them having to think with their brains rather than their d***s, which seems to be a tall order.
You mods just can't seem to slow down your roll on insulting and belittling the users of this site. I don't know how you could think that's a good thing to do. If you're trying to make a lot of people feel unwelcome here, you're doing a great job.

"You mods" is always an amusing way to begin a comment.
If a simple comment filter is enough to turn certain users away from this site altogether, then it does not seem to be much of a loss. The overwhelming number of "wow," "hot," "boing," etc. comments will not be missed. You are more than welcome to "lurk" and not comment, which is much more than can be said of other particular sites.

I could put in a link to some tips to getting a comment accepted, that might help with some of the pain...
In any case, for reference, here are the most recently rejected comments right now. Every ">" is a marker for a new comment. Some of the repetitive ones are people trying to append on to their already rejected comment and having that get rejected too.

What strikes me about these is mostly just how boring they are. The most interesting thing some of them do is point out a body part, and it's all downhill from there, all the way to completely generic compliments that could be made on literally any picture on the site, and even further downhill to "I exploded". The thing all these comments have in common is that none of them are trying to start a conversation or engage other users of the site. They are all just self-centered around the commenter and their reaction to the pic.

Yeah, it would be very difficult to get the filter working so precisely that it rejects all these comments while leaving alone the actual good ones, and at this point putting in stricter rules would start to increase the false positive rate. Maybe I will try to work on it further later, but for now if it rejects even half of this type of comment I consider that to be pretty decent.

What more do you expect from the average person? If there are any good comments, they probably fit a power law distribution (where a tiny fraction of users generate the majority of "interesting" remarks). This filtering system will not raise the number of interesting comments; it will reduce the number of "boring" comments. I hope it's not weeding out anyone who posts vital statistics. I wish there were profiles with DOB, height, country of origin etc., which could be a source of user engagement, but, hey, it's your rodeo, and I'm grateful.
I see I lost this debate. Egg, baseball, split, peaked, jacked, pretty, perfect all used to be pretty good comment search terms. Now they will only find images prior to the filter. This is also going to make it harder to retrospectively sort or tag data in the future. But I understand the emotional desire to clean up the comments.
"You mods" is always an amusing way to begin a comment.
Why is it so amusing to hold the "police" to a higher standard of decency? When the moderators need moderating because they can't hide their contempt for site users, you're losing the war even if you win the battle.
Ah, but that would require them having to think with their brains rather than their d***s, which seems to be a tall order.
@cgsweat...You have have always appeared as one of the more fair moderators on this site. Your statement seems a little harsh in this instance. After all, this isn't an educational site. It's not a workout instruction or anatomy site. Everyone knows why we come here. Toning down the comments, tastefully compliment the women or make less lewd remarks certainly makes sense. I for one have no control over what these women do to me and that of course is why I visit this site among many other sites. I'm doing my best to post within the new guidelines.

You do have a point here.
Here is an alternative implementation of the filter that I have been considering:
When you make a comment that the filter would reject, instead of getting outright rejected, it gets posted, and you yourself can see it. However, others don't see it, and it doesn't bump the image to the front page. Comment searches will see the comment (so if you put "egg" in your rejected comment, a search for "egg" will turn up that image), and maybe users could have an option in their profile (off by default) to see these rejected comments.
I didn't go with this plan originally because I thought the user experience of not knowing whether your comment will be seen by others or not would be worse than the current solution of outright rejection, but I'm open to being convinced differently about this.
This filtering system will not raise the number of interesting comments; it will reduce the number of "boring" comments.
Sure it won't increase the absolute number of good comments, but it will increase the ratio of good to bad ones.

The goal of my comment isn't to offend or bully... But I do feel like there has been an unnecessary amount of backlash over something seemingly trivial. It's very interesting to read how passionately users seem to cling to their freedom of making the same "boing" comment for the 10,000th time. Meanwhile the argument against this filter seems to be that users are now required to write an entire 300 page novel to be able to submit a comment, which is obviously not the case. The reality of the situation seems to fall somewhere in between "boing" and the 300 page novel.

Chainer...
First off thanks for EVERYTHING you do to maintain this site. It's THE BEST for muscle women. Hands down. I think we can ALL agree on THAT, right everyone?
Second, I literally laughed out loud at some of these. Thanks for the laugh!!
As far as the comments, I'm VERY sparing with mine. I agree with *most of your list. The "egg shaped biceps" or "pumpkin shaped delts" of Jodi Boam I do feel are valid comments. I mean, her deltoids LITERALLY look like pumpkins!!!
But really, we should all use COMMON SENSE!!!!
The "boing" and "wow" comments really add nothing to the site. I mean, I make it MY policy to just scroll past them, but it IS a public forum and I see why people are getting tired of it over and over and over and over.....
My personal favorite is "Imagine her strength". I don't know or care WHO wrote it or when, but at one point it was under like HALF of the pictures posted π.
So yeah, my 2 cents.
1- Chainer THANK YOU for all you do!!! 2- Everybody else- Use COMMON SENSE!!!
We're here to admire muscular women. But we can do so in a way that's not so cringeworthy.

You continue to be completely off base. Nobody here is clinging to "boing" or any other similar comment. Where do you see that? Nobody is arguing about having to write a 300 page novel to get a comment in. Who is saying this?
And take some responsibility for being offensive and dismissive (which you've done again in this comment) instead of digging in your heels and doubling down. Or just stop doing it. A little less ego and defensiveness, please.
