W/salam,


Keywords (or letters) are blacklisted to avoid spams from guests (bots). This can be overcome by registering and posting as a member. A few posts are required before it bypasses the blacklist. Even if it's not a full link, a part of any word might be blacklisted.


This measure is required to avoid junk from bots.


Wassalam

Assalamu Alaykum,

The keywords and blacklisted words will insha-Allah be removed as visual confirmation has been added. If there are no spam posts by bots in the next few weeks, all previous restrictions will be removed with the exception of a few blocked words.

I apologize for the inconvenience till now. Bots have made internet life a living misery for webmasters.

Also, users now have the option of HTML or non-HTML editors. Simply click the button provided below the submit form.

Wassalam

It's not been removed yet. If there are no spam posts then it will be removed. Also, if a post doesn't get through, simply email the post via www.muftisays.com/directcontact.php to "Admin" and i'll check what's causing the block.

Wa Alaykum Salam,

That's why i couldnt remove the old restrictions. It's blocking around 300 spam posts per day but a few still get through which have words that don't mean anything.

I'm not sure how it's bypassing the visual confirmation but i'll check inshaAllah

Announcement

Assalamu Alaykum,

InshaAllah within the next few days, most of the restrictions will be removed due to many complaints that they cannot post. The message pending function will be reactivated and restrictions removed inshaAllah.

This may result in guests not being able to post at all as registered members have had trouble due to non members. Members will get priority inshaAllah.

Wassalam

Assalamu Alaykum,

Guest posts have been disabled temporarily until the new update is active. It's been worked on for the past few weeks and should be up within the month insha-Allah.

This is to decrease the authorising work. If a post is urgent or important, please login, register or wait till the update and make Du'aa it's completed soon without errors.

Jazakumullah
