"Spam" links

When I'm trying to link to another site the site software changes my URL to www.spam.com

What's the problem with my link?

I think that just means at some point, someone from that site came to the forum and started spamming. So, as punishment, their name was stricken from the forum, and if anyone tries to link to them, it turns into www.spam.com.

Yes, a spammer signed up with 5 accounts and spammed us about that company while pretending to knock other companies.

Someone from the largest UK rental company spammed here? I find that hard to believe.

I'm not denying it didn't happen but the firm that you've banned is UK only.

I hardly think they joined DVDTalk just to swear and spew some rubbish. I'm amazed actually that anyone would think they did.

I could be wrong but I believe he was an architect. There's a Federal building named after him in Washington, DC.

At work he preferred J. Edgar but at the weekends he changed that around for personal reasons
