Hey! I Can't Comment Due to "Questionable Content"I think I know how these filters work-- they look for words similar to banned words (usually those used by spamming companies), and then they bounce any comment that contains a permutation of them. I was just disallowed from posting a comment about The Office due, the software said, to the banned phrase "me.com." Well, I didn't have "me.com" in my comment, but I did use the word "comedies" a couple of times. When I replaced that word with "shows," I was able to post. Not the word I wanted, but the only word I was allowed. I apologize for this snag, which I know has hit people from time to time. It's a feature of Moveable Type, and it sometimes doesn't work quite right. I know it's frustrating to have an unobjectionable comment banned for some stupid reason, but I don't think there's any way to turn it off-- and if it were turned off, the comments would be filled with spam about rape porn and casino gambling. posted by Ace at 03:34 AM
CommentsAh HA! Thank you for revealing the secret of the filters, DumbStar! Now we will take them over with our zooporn spambots! Muhhahahaa! Ha. Posted by: See Dubya on October 22, 2004 04:01 AM
FWIW, this week I tried to post a comment here but it wouldn't go through. I saved it separately, and a few hours later was able to post it like normal. Same text, same everything. The comments on the other threads were working fine all along. Go figure.

Do your website admins have MT-Blacklist installed? That's actually a separate plugin, but the minor headaches are worth the lack of spam. Posted by: Andrea Harris on October 22, 2004 07:30 AM
"and if it were turned off, the comments would be filled with spam about **** porn and casino gambling." You say this as if it were a bad thing.

Spam filters are an imperfect solution. The real solution is to have the international Internet protocols modified to require ISPs to identify the subscriber and charge them a nickel for every emailing the ISP contract says is SPAM content. If a country like Belize balks, you block all Internet traffic going from or to that country. After 20 years of exploding Internet use, modifying the protocols is long overdue. Knowing who the subscriber is would also be quite helpful in tracking down fraud and terrorists using the Internet for their communications network. The Porn filters are also a nuisance at times. At ACE, I found that in discussing legal gay marriage leading to polyandry, polygamy, and the father-daughter consenting adult relationship with the shorthand i****t, led to blocking my post because i****t was a prohibited word. But father-daughter sex was an OK phrase. Some libraries have even more extreme Porn filters that ban search terms like "breast" in people trying to find MD Health info on breast cancer - stupid - and not allowing "cocky", "gamecock".

Andrea, yes, we have MT Blacklist, but our blacklist is shared by a hundred people, so sometimes strange things get blocked. Posted by: Pixy Misa on October 22, 2004 06:24 PM
I totally agree with all these things written here. Posted by: Enriques on September 13, 2005 11:20 AM

The "Evel Knievel Experience," a museum dedicated to the famous daredevil, opens in (where else) Las Vegas
Well I guess they could have opened it on the Snake Canyon.
In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):
Candace OwensFor such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

And a song with another song as an intro, too: Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch There's something Inside that we need so much The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up Thru tarmac, to the sun again Boy do they look like absolute dorks.

Doing alright A little jiving on a Saturday night And come what may Gonna dance the day away Jenny was sweet She always smiled for the people she'd meet On trouble and strife She had another way of looking at life
