Reuters News Apologizes For Censoring Viagra Comment Spam On It’s Blog:
“We are having some issues with spam. If your comment does not get moderated it might be that it was stopped by our spam filters. Try to avoid using words like “ringtone”, “viagra”, “blackjack” and others that fit this pattern - i.e. common spam. Sorry for this crude censorship, but there is little we can do.” - blogs.reuters.com
Evidently, Reuters is having an issue with email spam also, because I noticed lower down their page they have this: “e-mail us at blogs-(at)-reuters-(dot)-com (address obscured to avoid spam)”.
I dunno, it seems somewhat out of place for a leading edge news service.
