→Spam protection filter: Response to Peter.

Hi MyWikiBiz! I've been encountering the Spam protection filter. I tried to add an AdBrite of my own and the Spam protection ''filter'' was triggered. Also when I tried to use one of the [[Help:Listing#Add a Directory Listing|"Add a Directory Listing"]] for an article template the Spam protection filter was triggered. Am I doing something wrong ?

:You're not doing anything wrong. We have been victimized in a collateral way by the Mediawiki developers and the Wikimedia "movement", where they have decided that their interpretation of sites that are "spam" will be promulgated to all users of the Mediawiki software. I have a developer looking into how we either remove or modify that "spam blacklist". Even highly useful sites like Examiner.com and TinyURL.com are blocked. It's yet another example of the tyranny of the Mediawiki hive. They will decide for us which links are worthy of publication! - [[User:MyWikiBiz|MyWikiBiz]] 16:13, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
