No sex at Weblogs.com

This is just speculation, I haven’t emailed anyone at Weblogs.com to confirm my guess.

Twice this morning after posting an entry in my sexuality weblog, Amorous Propensities : sex is funny, MovableType warned me there’d been a problem pinging a site. Checking the log I saw

Ping ‘http://Rpc.Weblogs.Com/Rpc2′ Failed: Ping Error: Access Denied.

I tried pinging manually only to see the same Access Denied.

I shrugged it off as a system quirk that would pass. When my ping was denied a third time it hit me that Dave Winer may be having the same problem with pings from scumbag sex sites that I’ve been having in my referral log.

Performing a manual ping with the weblog title truncated to just Amorous Propensities my ping was accepted.

Wonder how many people have a blacklisted word in their weblog name.

Not that I blame Weblogs.com: the spammers are the ones to blame.
