Cannot type a . info domain name

I was trying to mention the BBpedia in the Scam School forum at bbliveshow . info (without the spaces) and it censored out the ". info" part. I wasn't aware "dot-info" was a swear word.

I wasn't aware "dot-info" was a swear word.****** domains are commonly used for scam/spam/malware sites, and we were getting an overly large number of people spamming links to them, so the decision was made to censor the ****** sites so that they would not get a boost from SEO gaming engines.

Once this was done, the amount of spam from those sites dropped dramatically.

Unfortunately, legit ****** sites got caught too, but the number of people linking to them was minimal.

I suggest that you cheat the system a little, and use a URL shortener (tr.im, bit.ly, etc) to change the URL and then embed it in the post instead.
