Indeed, the word 'youtube' is part of the list of words to be rejected without moderation. We have had a lot of spam some years ago, which caused a temporary shutdown of ask.sagemath.org and we had to migrate from WU to OSU to be able to restart the service. We set up a lot of antispam measures in order to be flooded anymore. This keyword-list is one of them. The most powerfull is definitely the firewall we set up. Also, currently, every newcomer has her first post moderated. It is hard to know whether this list blocks more spammers than regular users.

Let me remove the word 'youtube' from the list, and we will see...
