What's with all the asterisks?

[sonambulo]

Am I the only one seeing these or am I just missing out on some kind of joke?

Someone tried to put "dot-c-o-m" on the filter list

 

[CrackRabbit]

The spam filter has gone nuts it is attempting to filter out everything containing periods and other web address parts

The ***mies are ***ing, or there is a ***edian moderator, or maybe it is celebrate the asterix day, and down with c o m?

ATOT strikes yet another blow against the English language!

 

[TuxDave]

lol, I was thinking that it was just AT trolling the OP for having so many asterisks in his first post** But I guess it's a legit issue**

 

[gamefreakgcb]

At first, I thought Chrome bugged out on me** So I tried all the browsers and its the same everywhere**

Good to know its not on my end** I was just going through the Hume thread and suddenly all the images disappeared**

 

[VirtualLarry]

[Ferzerp]

When filtering goes nuts [period]

 

[OBLAMA2009]

it looks like its blocking "c-u-m" and "c-o-m"

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

astericks gone wild!********

I am seeing too and was about to start a post about it. But then I found this thread. It seems to be doing it mostly to words that start with "com". I don't know why, but something is messed up somewhere.

As noted in another post here, issue is now fixed .. hope it stays that way.

It is a URL filter gone nuts[period] It is trying to detect the [dot] or the c0m in URLS[period] and is masking them[period]

I wonder what other tlds set it off[period]

net
***
org

edit: It looks like only c0m[period]
