Proposal to mods: Make "rover.ebay.com" a banned phrase

This would prevent spammers like the one we just had from posting their spam and perhaps discourage people from joining this forum just to spam the place with "rover" links.

Any thoughts? Is this possible with the software you're using here?

    This is a very early version of Fusetalk, and I'm not sure if the word filter has the ability to ban "rover.ebay.com" without also banning ebay.com.

    I suggest you send a PM to Carol, she should be able to determine if it can be added to the banned list.

    There are legitimate uses for tinyurl. Many members use it in their sig lines because of the 255 character limit.

    Unless there's something special about the dot character, I don't see why not. Substrings of forbidden words aren't forbidden. For example, I can type "hit" even though it's a substring of a forbidden word with one letter before it. You can type "mustard" even though the last five characters are the same as a banned word.
