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

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED from anon2020 So what, she quit? Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know. NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category. Thanks to Mark1971
Holiday Break: I've had a rough couple of weeks -- the shoulder is healing now and I'm finally getting decent sleep -- and I've decided to take a long weekend.
I'm taking Friday off, and then Monday off, too. I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
Sh0eOnHead discusses the Psychotic Cult of Lindsay
Real quotes: "This case has me feeling like I'm on Law & Order with you guys!" "We literally binge true crime as a hobby, we've been trained for this moment" Worth the watch. If you haven't seen the genuinely upsetting insanity motivating thousands of women, you should watch this just to see how society is crumbling. Ban TikTok, Trump. I don't care if Barron tells you it's popular with the yutes. It is an evil Communist China op and it is driving women insane.
Dolly Parton tells the story of the supposedly real-life Jolene
As Andrew Branca says, can we see this Jolene, finally? Who was this hottie that was a genuine sexual threat to Dolly Parton? I think this is Fake News personally. When a magician claims he learned a trick from a Himalayan wise man, I don't believe him either.

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
