Dinged on viagra for 9.0Why is Skepticality (a popular skeptic's podcast) in my blacklist? Because they've got spammers infesting their forum, unfortunately. It's only worth 2.5 dings though, so just mentioning them (particularly if you're a registered user) won't affect your comment.

I see you included a leading space on the "C" drug, so that words like "specialist" don't trigger that rule.

Yup.
Also, registered users get a significant negative bonus, so you won't normally trip the spam filter even if you need to talk about prescription medication.

EVERY Forum has spammers.
I nuke them when we find them. The registration system for the website is as good as we can get it, it required human interaction, but yet... spammers still find ways.
So, no forum of ANY type is completely spam free.
Mind as well just black list the entire internet.

Goodness!
Hi Derek! In no way did I mean to slight you or the management of your forums. Sorry if it came across that way. It's just that we've been receiving a lot of spam today that points to you, so I added it as a low-ranked term. I'm not blocking mentions of Skepticality, it's just flagged as a possible indicator for spam.

In latest news,
"M3mb3rs" folks have changed their attack: subdirectory name now has uppercase "M" and is plural, and the only link in the spam is the poster's address. I have a couple of junked ones (06:44 and 10:43) if you want to look.
Cheers?
