An exception from the algorithm of filtering spam links on photo hostings and tiny-urls web-sites

The algorithm for spam filtering has new exceptions for links to photo hostings and tiny-urls web-sites. For example, links to sites such as img.gd, goo.gl bit.ly etc. will be ignored when determining the links to spam active web sites.

The type of the web site – blog, forum, photo hosting, tiny url and etc. is determined automatically by analyzing the structure of HTTP links.

Innovation will reduce the number of messages sent to the moderators of websites.
