This is an auto-generated systems update to inform you that your feelings are no longer considered canon and have been flagged as spam. While we realize your feelings may be important to you, the volume and frequency have triggered an automatic alarm system in our servers. It is for the safety and protection of our other users that we have removed your feelings from canon continuity.

♦Why are my feelings in Spam? 

• Your feelings may be similar to other feelings that were detected by our spam filters.
• These feelings may have been forged and not really sent from your account.
• Other people may have marked these feelings as spam.
• These feelings may contain a virus.
• These feelings may contain content that is often used in spam messages.

♦What does this mean for my feelings that have been recently sent out?

Any outstanding feelings that are currently in the process of being sent will not be delivered to their intended recipients. Your feelings are now considered part of a non-canon alternate continuity. Future installments will no longer rely upon your feelings as backstory. Your feelings may also be filtered out of the system and returned to the sender.

We recommend taking your feelings offline and establishing an AU continuity (this will not be recognized as canon by any official sources). You will not be able to participate in the development of the feelings canon until your account has gone at least 30 days without being flagged. Any user may flag your feelings content at any moment. To ensure their privacy and security, the feelings administrator will never reveal the identity of the flaggers. We wish you the best of luck with your feelings going forward.

♦How can I avoid having my feelings marked as Spam in the future?

Even when your feelings appear legitimate, they will be checked by your server, the recipient’s server or both of them. It’s common practice for system administrators to use spam checking and anti-virus software directly on your personal feelings. The idea is to eliminate or reduce the relaying of your non-canonical feelings.

While this can reduce the amount of your feelings our users are forced to experience, the system is not perfect and as a result, perfectly legitimate feelings may also be flagged and never delivered. These feelings are known as ‘false positives.’ This document outlines a number of methods you can employ to keep your feelings from being flagged as spam and removed from canon continuity.

♦Make sure your feelings are not suspicious, and don’t look like spam

• Avoid commonly-used feelings
• Avoid upper-case feelings
• Do not use too many images in your feelings
• Make sure your feelings are appropriately balanced
• Avoid tagging others in your feelings unless absolutely necessary
• Correct any coding errors in your feelings
• Avoid using scripts in your feelings

(This was a test. Your feelings about this message are not canon, and will not be sent to the feelings administrator.)
