Complaint URLs rarely get sent

About 99% of the time, I'll send someone a URL of a picture, and they don't reply, so I ask if they got it. 99% of the time, it's a no. I resend it. Still no. What's the point of telling us not to send URLs if nobody ever receives them in the first place?
 
E621 is an imageboard focused on furry artwork.

Much of the content is pornographic in nature, and it contains many hardcore fetishes. Its cleaner counterpart is e926

So yes
 
I can't even post pictures with the tool to do so in a private chat. ANyway, it would be nice to get a message if that says "your URL was not sent, it is categorized as spam" instead of not getting sent and you getting no notification it wasn't, how would you even know it was posted?

That would be a good way to let scammer/spammers know that their method of spamming/scamming isn't working, so they can try out 5,000 other things over and over, and over, and over, until we can't shake them.

There's an incredible amount of automated spam/scam control, so we have to sacrifice some things. This is how FREE CHAT works.

Yeah but imagine sending a URL, waiting for a response, and your chat partner leaves because he/she thought you quit. Seriously inconvenient and just downright stupid. Just tell us if something didn't send
 
It makes perfect sense. We tell everyone if their URL did not send and countless number of scammers try different alternatives flooding the chat rooms when they do get the right algorithm
Just because a few people do not like it does not mean it needs to be changed

But imagine spammers/scammers getting their way, because they're getting auto-response tips on how to circumvent the anti-spam system and chat is unusable to normal users, or website shuts down as a result of uncontrollable spam. ALL URL's would have to be blocked.

Chat is about everybody, not just your URL spam.
 
So your solution is not even let people who want to abide by the rules know they've accidentally broken them because there are urls you won't even tell us are forbidden to post (how do you expect us to know the rules, if there isn't even a list of ones we can't post), and why they can't post pics and urls. You will NEVER succeed in banning every exploit anyway, so what's the point? They can do tests until someone their testing with DOES get it, so it's not detriment to them anyway. They can still try to circumvent it.

I'm not trying to spam URL's just I don't even get a message saying "it wasn't sent" There are plenty of chat sites that let you know and they not spammed out of existence. In fact, I don't know any chat site that blocks what you sent and it doesn't even tell it wasn't sent.
 
That's how this chat software works. There's a considerable effort placed into mitigating spam and adding additional notifiers only complicates the software, and adds more bugs.

New chat software is in the works and perhaps things will change. Current software, however, will remain as-is.
