Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sorry-charlie dept.

ThinkingInBinary writes "The other day, I was trying to mention bugmenot.com in my Facebook status, and I discovered to my horror that Facebook blocks the phrase 'bugmenot.com' as "abusive" in status updates, messages, and presumably any other communications on the site. Facebook isn't even listed on BugMeNot, as they requested that logins for Facebook be blocked. This is pretty ridiculous, as I can't even send my friends a message mentioning bugmenot.com!"

    Seriously, who the hell cares about crap like this?
    If you don't have an email address to send suspect sites to when you sign up for them, you fail miserably at the internet.

    If you're so damn lazy that you can't take the 5 seconds to click through a registration and put in your bogus email address, you fail even more miserably at life.

    There are ads on Facebook?!

    EVENTUALLY the business dorks will figure out the cycle. What are we, up to about fifteen years now? They're a little slow, but the come around eventually.

    Thanks for the tips! May I subscribe to your newsletter? By the way meta comment on moderation is a very different beast than metamoderation. Sure you weren't talking about commenting on moderation, but your post was very much a comment about moderation.

    It's the JEWS, stupid.

    Anything the JEWS don't like, is deemed "abusive".
    Like mentioning the fact that JEWS control America's government, and own the Fed, own your banks, own your media, send YOU to DIE in THEIR wars with THEIR enemies, and send you to prison in Europe for questioning their holycause story...

    You know, the one where two million Jews were allegedly gassed to death with diesel exhaust... The only problem being that diesel exhaust isn't toxic enough to kill somebody, and contains too much unburnt oxygen to kill them by suffocation... and the Germans had LETHAL producer gas running in two million vehicles due to a shortage of gasoline... so why didn't they use that?
    Because the JEWS who LIED about the diesel exhaust didn't know anything about what they were lying about...
