Another blogger on my site attempted to post a hyperlink to a USA Today article in the comments, but was denied -- an "objectionable content: usatoday.com" message appeared. I tried it myself and got the same thing.
Why, of all things, is USA Today considered "objectionable content"? I'm assuming it's a server thing 'cause I don't see where I could block specific domains even if I wanted to.

Done.
Actually, spammers have developed a nasty habit recently; they put good links in with the spam, so the good links get blacklisted along with the bad. They do this purely to annoy people.

Posted by Light & Dark at January 22, 2006 07:36 AMYeah, that's exactly it, there's a spammer just today that I added and then realized it added links to valid websites like usat0day.com. I will remove them again.. F#$@ing spammers.
