Hi Lucinda

URL's are removed by human moderators, so starring out a section won't work, okay. If all a posting contains is URL's then it won't make any sense if we remove the URL, so in this instance we just fail the post.

Peta.

I knew the moderators were human - my question was whether starred ones were acceptable: after all, if f**k isn't obscene, I figured there was a good chance that bbc.c*.uk wasn't a 'URL'.

However, question answered.

Regardless, you'll be wanting to change your T&C - the definition of a URL is with the http bit - otherwise it's just an TCP/IP name. And if you want to kill starred URLs, you'll need to change the "to an external website" bit - because starred URLs don't point anywhere - websites or otherwise.

Hmm - read your new version of the House Rules... check out http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F63194?thread=100323 for a response: I think you're interpreting BBC policy in a stricter way than is required...
