Have you tried each link independent of the other two? If one URL is blocked by your antispam table then the whole post will be blocked. Not that I know it's something in your antispam table! It's just that one (obviously) can post three links from the same domain.

Damn, apparently the word "space" is banned thousand of times because of thousands of blocked dmains with "space" in the name. The same happens for the word "band". I guess I don't have any option :(

space and band are absolutely NOT blocked unless you added them locally.

Let's say "porn-space-pills-band.com" is an official spammer. The only links that will block are links that match that complete string. So like we unbanned 'cialis' because it could block 'specialist', but we banned '-cialis' and 'cialis-'. Make sense? There is no sub-string checking going on.

Edit: bummer but the filters on this software blocked where I typed "po" followed by "rn", then blocked where I typed "cia" followed by "lis". Kinda loses the meaning if you can't read it :(

Still haven't understood....

For example the word 'space' is blocked several times, some examples: keyspace.de, atspace.org, my-space, etc...

Is it why it's blocking myspace.com ? That's the only thing I can think of...

I've allowed the word 'band' again coz it had only 3 or 4 keywords banned with the word 'band'

What are the actual links that you are trying to post when you get this error?

No. Absolutely not. There is no "substring" matching. If the keyword is not entirely matched in the link you are posting it will not register as bad. For example as you noted atspace.org is banned. Ignore the fact that it looks like a URL and focus on it as a sequence of characters. It will cause a match for "thatspace.org" but not "atspace.com" because the entire keyword must be contained in the potential match to register as spam.

Whatever is blocking your post is (a) not because you have multiple URLs and (b) not because of the word "space" unless you added that string of characters to your local antispam list.

As ¥åßßå asked, what exactly are you trying to post? I'll go one step further and ask if you can post each and every URL independent of the other two. One of your links might be blocked by your local antispam list, but it could also be something else. For example a link that doesn't pass the xhtml checker.

Here are the links Im trying to post:

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/pillowtalk" target="_blank">Pillow Talk</a>

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/tribuzyband" target="_blank">Renato Tribuzy</a>

<a href="http://www.myspace.com/ivanguilhon" target="_blank">Ivan Guilhon</a>

Only the first link is allowed. The other 2 give an error message

I have no problem posting all of those (either singularly or as a group) on the [url=http://demo.b2evolution.net]demo[/url] site ?

Based on your latest blog post it looks like you've managed to post them as well, so I asssume this problem is cleared.

As an aside, I got multiple mysql errors when I visited your site.

¥

The problem is not cleared, I posted tham as plain text. The simply refuse to post as links.

Mysql errors? Where exactly? Is there a way to fix them?

Hmmm, yer errors have gone, must have just been a server glitch.

Try this, crack open conf/_advanced.php and find a line that says $debug = 0; change the 0 to a 1 and save it.

Then try posting the links again and somewhere amongst the debug log it should tell you what's wrong.

Don't forget to change the 1 back to a 0 once you've done ;)

¥

The problem was that the keyword "Zyban" was blacklisted. Now tell me what "Zyban" has to do with the links I was trying to post? :p

Anyway, thanks for you patience and help. I appreciate it :)

a href="http://www.myspace.com/tribuzyband" target="_blank">Renato Tribuzy</a> ;)

Just delete it from your blacklist and you should be good to go ;)

¥

Thanks a lot :)

That is a HORRIBLE keyword!!! I'm sure it stopped a million spam hits, and assume it hasn't stopped that many real links or visits, but it doesn't satisfy the "punctuated keyword" rule at all. The good old days were much easier, but things have a way of catching up to us.

Another day, another chore... :(

a Month back after I built my 5 year old son http://donblog.quicksilverhq.com/index.php/orion Ashwanthe's blog, I let STK know about it over YIM. He tried leaving a comment, got an error merssage and sent me the comment to me by mail instead.

I tried posting the comment and got the same error message and so started posting it sentence-wise, sorta drilling down to find the banned keyword. I was amused when the words turned out be Yahoo and Gmail. I did a local spamlist search and found both listed. I deleted them and posted the comment Ok.

Sometimes, one gets a whole load of junk from some shithead with URLs like shithead.yahoo.com or subhuman.gmail.com and I'd probably used Yahoo and gmail as keyowrds to search for and delete these comments or trackbacks in one shot. Maybe I forgot to untick the Ban locally checkbox..

I make it a point to filter check the local banlist once a while for keywords that may be regularly used, but could've been reported as a bummer.
