Unable to post artist page
Hi, I'm an admin on the John Peel Wiki and have been trying to create a page for an artist that Peel frequently played, Nigger Kojak, but got this message

The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename. Block ID #13792 The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: nigger If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem. The text was found in the page's summary. Return to Nigger Kojak.

I can understand that the word is offensive, but there is a page under that title for him on Wikipedia! Why are we an exception? Yours

Could not move note on this page
This page was blocked by the spam filter when I attempted to move an informational note to the top of the section it applies to. The message is: The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename.

Note that The Sims Wiki has blocked files starting with 'Screenshot' and 'Snapshot' from being uploaded.

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: jimdo.com (Block #70490)

"jimdo.com" does appear in references on that page, in the URL http://rinconsimmer.jimdo.com/, and edits to sections that do not have references to that site save w/o problems. Could you check this out, please? Dharden (talk) 13:43, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Tropes Mirror Wiki
When trying to save a new page, I ran into the following error:

https?://+[a-z0-9_./-]*power-?level (Block #6855)

The page was That Makes Me Feel Angry, which I was unable to save in any form unless the following line was removed:


 * Eight Bit Theater has Your continued attacks fill me with equal parts rage and anger.

The site the URL links to is completely legitimate, so I'm not sure why it is reported as spam. GethN7 (talk) 04:10, August 16, 2013 (UTC)GethN7

Hello, I am the admin of the United Chans Wiki. One of our member sites goes by the name of /ref/, but the filter identifies it as spam. http://unitedchans.wikia.com/wiki//ref/ is the page in question. This is the message I received:
