Regarding the blocked pages...

In an e-mail to WINM's webhost:

Me: Several pages on my site got blocked because of banned words in innocent contexts, and George from Support said that if I gave you the URLs, you could tell me which words were responsible so I could fix them.

I managed to go through and fix most of them with the help of friends (I have learnt that chicken farms are bad, because some of those chickens there are male; for one blocked article my friend suggested that Dick Van Dyke might be the culprit, but strangely he wasn't (come on, it's got a dick and a dyke in there! How much worse can you get? and it turned out to be something else much more mundane); overall this was a very entertaining and educational process in which my young teenage mind was corrupted with the many creative pornographic possibilities of words.

It's just left with these three now that we can't figure out. Thanks.

(Another friend of mine said that most porn sites don't even use text; they stick to pictures, and when they do use text they almost always misspell it, and so most of the pages getting banned are probably wholly innocent ones while the actual porn is getting away scot free.

Although kudos to you for only banning words when used in their complete form; I once had lots of angst with this Internet forum that banned 'class' and 'mass' and 'bass' because they had ass in them.)

Their Reply: The firs URL - http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/2005_0703_kin.htm do not have forbidden words.
For http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/2006_07xx_int.htm you should remove
the word - CLAMP
For http://www.whoaisnotme.net/articles/1995_0922_our.htm - you should remove AMERICA ONLINE
Thank you for contacting us.

Looks like my edit out of 'hard men' (WHICH WAS USED IN A TOTALLY NON-SEXUAL CONTEXT) for the first link was correct after all, but it didn't update right away when I tried to access it then.

Did a search, and according to urban dictionary, one of the definitions of 'clamp' means "A vagina so tight, you might as well fuck her ear."

Well, that was educational.

In the context of the article in question, it just meant... well, clamp. AS IN CLAMP. Clamp down on.

And am I the only one wtf-ing at how America Online is banned?
