Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spamscanner/spamscanner/issues/7

I got this error response when linking the site https://about.chatroulette.com/solutions/. I know https://chatroulette.com/ is categorized as adult content (hey, working on changing this!) but is there any chance subdomains are not detected as adult-related content?

420 Error for orgateam@nixcon.org of "Link hostname of "about.chatroulette.com" was detected by Cloudflare's Family DNS to contain adult-related content, phishing, and/or malware. Phishing whitelist requests can be filed at https://github.com/spamscanner/spamscanner/issues." If you need help please forward this email to support@forwardemail.net or visit https://forwardemail.net.

I'm sorry but there would be too many workarounds. I suggest to put the about page on a separate domain if possible, and do a 301 redirect from that page to the new domain.

Is that a feasible solution for you @gvolpe?

I'm guessing it would solve issues you may face elsewhere too

That is actually a good idea, yes. I'll propose that to the management 👍

Just came to the conclusion a redirect wouldn't help if the domain is still blocked. That's the case for some universities, for example.

you would point the links to the new domain, and the existing domain would
redirect 301 to the new one
