Remove ******** (d0follow) from the blacklist

Did some https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ablackhatworld.com+why+is+********+censored&oq=site%3Ab&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j69i58j69i59l3.4586j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 as to why d0follow is censored on the forum and this is the best/only explanation found, posted by @Zwielicht in 2016:


If you type "do-follow" without the dash it shows up as asterisks. Example:

• ********

It has definitely caused some confusion in the past, especially for people new to the forum. Unless there's some particular other reason that didn't show up in that search, it seem that it would be make things clearer if the term were removed from the blacklist.

Interesting little fact, I'd be curious if someone knows more.

Is nofollow blocked?

I know. I made the post to see if it would be blocked or not haha

Sites are usually blocked due to excessive spam or abuse of the BHW Terms of Service. If you're the owner of the blocked domain contact me via pm to see if there is a resolution.

Phrases are blocked where they are abused - usually used to hide a domain that had already been blocked.
