Thanks Pine!

So far there were a few false positives but they have been identified and
their accounts re-enabled.

I'm periodically monitoring the activity feed for any more false positives
but I don't expect more since I adjusted the filter in response to what
I've learned.

(Sorry for the late reply, this got left unsent in my drafts folder by
mistake)
