 * The URL tag won't work on Wikia - spambots use it a lot, though (because they think they're spamming forums)  Random Time  01:10, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

I added the "Return To" message to let you geniuses know what the subject of the edit I was trying to make just happened to be. I'm guessing that your blind-moron-robot Spam Filter read the word "pussy" and went "Whoops! He's trying to link to a Porn Site! We'd better protect people from actually using their own judgment and being adults!"

First, its the name of a classic cartoon. Get over it. Second, its a temporary link that will be removed shortly anyway.

Is there any way to turn this annoying and unnecessary piece of crap (by which I mean your Spam Filter) off?
 * You can use MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist in order to whitelist things which would normally be blacklisted. Surprisingly, the spam filter isn't human operated, and so there are going to be false positives  Random Time  21:10, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hence my calling it a "blind moron robot. And I note you didn't answer my question.  How do I turn it off.
 * You can't  Random Time  21:36, March 29, 2011 (UTC)

'Introduction' is flagged. Why?
I made a huge edit to an introductory paragraph on the Young Justice Wiki, and my edit was tagged under the summary "Introduction". As you can imagine, I wasn't particularly happy about my edit gone down the drain, but I was also wondering why that word it tagged?

 * It's currently blocked to prevent mass spambot edits. You can save your edits with another expression like "intro". 00:46, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Gantz wiki having strange spam filter bug
I tried to edit something at http://gantz.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Gantz_Wiki and got the message:

The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a blacklisted link or pagename.

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: I really like this forum.

If you think this is wrong, please contact us here. Please, provide a copy of this message when reporting any problem.

Return to Talk:Gantz Wiki.

So apparently if anyone ever says "I really like this forum" it gets filtered. That is obviously a bug. Not sure how that got put in there on your list of things to filter.  D r e a m Focus  15:36, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a bug, it's a clearly spambot edit. I've removed it from your wiki. 00:50, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

LyricWiki: talk page for Deerhunter album
From LyricWiki: Talk:Deerhunter:Turn It Up Faggot (2005) -- note that a main page already exists for this album.

The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to an external site. If you think you entered normal text that we shouldn't block, please tell Sean or another admin.

The following link, text or pagename is what triggered our spam filter: Faggot
