In response to a religion question, I tried to put in my source as www. the religion of peace .com (remove the spaces) and Yahoo blocks it every time. Why is that?

They have some websites that are flagged, and you'll get an error 999 if you try to link them. Certain pages on MySpace for example seems to be something that trips the censor.
So far, I haven't seen any rhyme or reason to the sites they have blocked. It seems to work much like the deletion system they have here on Y!A. It seems almost to work at random.

blunders 999 has been around for years it rather is a BANN , A CENSORING gadget used via YAHOO and became first offered in to offer up bandwidth hogs. It has no longer stopped them, properly while you're pinging yahoo many times like the crackers / hackers do, sure, yet that's no longer the case with maximum folk. E999 on YA! is bearing directly to non yahoo hyperlinks published, all of it starts there. Yahoo would not such as you making use of "exterior" events / hyperlinks. whether you placed up a yahoo hyperlink and it has one be attentive to the banned hyperlink interior the URL addy, it gets E999. get rid of the hyperlink and your placed up will bypass via. Yahoo provides this mistake 999 message and would not show you how to get admission to the provider. and likely there's a reason, it rather isn't any longer a glitch, it rather isn't any longer a conventional blunders, it rather isn't any longer your pc, and likely yahoo are very attentive to it. it rather is a code massive daddy yahoo has in place years in the past, a censoring code. A code to offer up despite you're surfing / posting , on solutions / 360 / video games / mail or everywhere on yahoo, being a splash element of yahoo YA! has inherited the blunders. if a hyperlink isn't yahoo appropriate, and that's published alot, it without delay is going on a bann checklist, yahoo have this checklist of URLS and if published too lots that checklist without delay banns those URLS., with blunders 999 as a result, Yahoo can get rid of the hyperlinks from the checklist so as that they can't b banned yet i do no longer see them doing that interior the close to destiny. Yahoo want their very own hyperlinks . the different option is to repeat and paste the documents you will desire to help human beings promptly from the website you're making use of as a source. Yahoo do unlike you making use of the different source different then themsleves. save posting the comparable hyperlinks that are banned and yahoo bypass so a techniques as to bann your account the way around blunders 999 is to leap the servers.

I have no idea. Have you written a question on the Forum asking about this? The one thing I have noticed is that a link won't work if you put any punctuation after it. So you have to write it as one string not put any spaces or any punctuation on it.
P.S. How weird! I had the address in here (in the sentence above) and when I pressed "submit" I got Error Message 999. I wonder what's going on. Perhaps they have some information that there's something wrong with that particular web site.

I believe auntb93 is right. I tried including a link on one answer and yahoo wouldn't let me post the answer. I think they might have a list of websites that are "flagged". Weird, as the link I was trying to post was from Wikipedia and nowhere near being insulting or obscene.

Probably it's the first step to Yahoo deleting your account. You've abused it so much you're bound to have hundreds of reports pending

Dunno why they would. I've seen far more offensive links get right past the censors.
