I have a list of words/phrases/letters that are banned from use on the board. That list exists in an effort to prevent spammers from posting on the board. I am sure you know that this is a board that is open and freely accessible and requires no passwords or registration by users. As such, it is wide open to spammers. The word file contains things that are inappropriate or not typically expected to be seen on a page about old fishing tackle.
I do not know what your last message was. I do not see these things unless and until they appear on the board. All I know is what shows up in a log file. In your case, the word that was blocked was "t.ru". The .ru is most often associated with internet domains originating in Russia and I block a lot of Russian spam. Again, I did not see your message and have no idea what was in it beyond what appeared in my log.
Now Jack, please do me a favor. Next time you want to ask me something, send me an email with your question. My email address is easy to find. It is jyates@ix.netcom.com
