  I wanted to write an article about VPN Services. And of course i linked to every single service using my affiliate / referral URLs. But I discovered that wordpress is filtering a few services. F.e. URLs which lead directly to TorGuard VPN Service are blocked. So you see the URLs in your Backend, but the link and anchor text will disappear on the frontend / live syste.

  Give it a try. My Url: [redacted by staff]

  [redacted by staff]

  .. but i guess every urls are blocked which contain the string “https://torguard.net”

  So this leads to a question: Is there a “built-in-censorship” in wordress? And if so, since when and for how long? Is there any documentation or blacklist?

  .. and btw. I have the same problem in mailchimp.

  Hi there,

  The account you’re using to post here doesn’t own any sites on WordPress.com. What site do you need help with?

  We don’t prevent any content you add in the editor from appearing to visitors to your site. The only content we do strip out is JavaScript code and unsupported HTML, as explained here:

  Add Code to Your Site

  While we do allow affiliate links on WordPress.com, those links are only allowed for vendors we consider to be reputable. You can see our policy in this regard here:

  Monetize Your Site

  We do not allow posting of any affiliate links in these support forums, so I have removed those links from your post above.
