Hi there,
Today I was trying to update a page on the London Open Guide (http://london.openguides.org/wiki/?Liverpool_Street_Station), but keep running into the error message "Not saved - Sorry; that looks like spam. If it isn't spam, please contact the guide administrator."
I was hoping to change a paragraph from this:
The lower concourse extends westwards into a shopping centre, underneath a bus terminus. Railtrack have a [http://www.networkrail.co.uk/Stations/stations/liverpoolstreet/Documents/Li verpoolStreet.pdf map of the shops] in the station. Notable shops include two WH Smiths, the usual [[Fast Food|junk food]] suspects ([[Burger King]] and [[McDonalds]]), two Costa Coffees and on the upper level a record shop (Helter Skelter).
To this:

Although I appreciate that it's probably hard to keep spam to a manageable level, it's slightly irksome to be prevented from contributing a genuine edit in this way. More irritating is the request to contact the guide administrator without providing any contact details to allow one to do so! Although I'm bloody-minded enough to have sought out this address to let you know of this problem I suspect that many others won't be and will simply give up, which is a shame and might prevent the guide becoming even better than it already is.
Regards,
Leigh Simpson

Hi Leigh,
I'm sorry you had problems with the London Open Guide. In fact, that site is on the point of being shut down or at least put read-only with big warnings, because there is noone interested in looking after it at the moment.
