Links being replaced with ***** ??

I posted here: http://www.sitepointforums.com/showt...&postid=825077

And it replaced my link with www.******.com instead of leaving my original link... Any reason why?

hmm, what was the link? badice? the ****** means a banned URL usually

**Hartmann** · Jun 27, 2003 11:31

The url was w e b y o g .com

**platinum** · Jun 27, 2003 11:34

oh ok - must have been banned in the past for something I guess.

**Hartmann** · Jun 27, 2003 20:41

Weird... I wonder why it would be banned...

The word w e b y o g is in our censored words list. I honestly don't know why this is. I guess platinum is right.

It was banned months ago because of the 200-300 spam messages they were posting a week.

Ahh. That makes sense... I did a search on the forums for it and found some posts by them that looked like spam.
