URL blocking

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Why has the site started to block any messages with any sort of URL in . It never used to before today ...well at least not for me. I can't even send a link to my tumblr account with out it getting the silly threatening message.

Nope tumblr and google drive addresses worked yesterday but not now. I think Admin or the techs have tweaked the filter and not said anything

OK we see -- this is a different type of block than we assumed

We block tumblr URLs since they have been mis-used by spammers previously

I received this message about six months ago and there were no URLs or websites mentioned.

Had to give up on the message in the end
