greylist/blacklist questions

I understand why the board's administrators do not want us linking to blacklisted sites. However, in the forum "Who's that girl?" this creates a problem. Can we post the offending website's name without the "dot com" and the identifying portion of the html, e.g. elaina.html if it's the only place one can find other pictures of the sought after female?

Ditto greylisted sites. This has become frustrating in the "Who's the girl?" thread - not only for myself but members seeking IDs. This is the fora I most want to contribute to. The board even greylisted my post in the "Tips On Looking for 'That' Girl using Google" thread.

Any chance you can make an exception for me? I think it's probably obvious I'm not about to start spamming the board.

Otherwise, any suggestions?

Thank you in advance for replying!

No, you shouldn't work around blacklisting/greylisting.
The blacklisted website are blacklisted for a reason. If they are the only one having content you want to add to a thread, you can instead host the pics somewhere safe and hotlink the pictures.

I understand the "fifty posts" rule. However, this has become frustrating in the "Who's the girl?" thread - not only for myself but members seeking IDs. This is the fora I most want to contribute to. The board even greylisted my post in the "Tips On Looking for 'That' Girl using Google" thread.

Greylisting isn't blacklisting. It just prevent new user from posting link straight away without a mod looking at them. Read here for more info. So just wait a while and the links will appear if they are safe and not spam/advertising. After a few posts there, your link won't be greylisted anymore.
Not sure what this had to do with the 50 thumbs rule though?

I allowed most of your links, some were already blacklisted though.
