Why does yahoo!answers not allow certain web addresses?
Periodically, I'm not allowed to link to wikipedia articles here on Y!A. Now, for the last two days we have not been able to link to http://wicca./ timerift. net either, which is a popular and respected resource in the Religion section. What gives?

That is a result of too many people posting links to the same site in too short of a time. It triggers a 'spam filter' to activate, putting up error999. It times out eventually. Happens with Wiki, photobucket, youtube, even Yahoo Help links.
