  1. Cause we created the blocked phrase. Facebook’s spam filter detects it as spam because so many say the same phrase in the comments, which is caused by us telling people to try to type out that phrase. Which causes it to be detected as spam.

    noun
    1.
    irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients.
    verb
    1.
    send the same message indiscriminately to (large numbers of recipients) on the Internet.

  2. The typos in this article are fucking ridiculous! Does NO ONE proof read your articles?? You literally say “it is now known…” when you meant “it is NOT known…” wtf?? There’s other typos as well… :\
