Obviously the bugtraq moderators cannot see any issues with obfuscated URL's that look like
http://www.ebay.com%252f%40evil.site.goes.here.

If your only post to bugtraq was the second one you posted here last
night I can understand entirely why it was rejected. There's many
people who read bugtraq who aren't security experts and they can't
immediately see what the problem is unless you spell it out, and point
out what implications it has. Even here on Full Disclosure it seems we
had the benefit of your first post showing the URL progressively
obfuscated.

I agree completly that people should post details of rejected bugtraq
posts here tho. That's the thing about censorship, it's difficult to
know how strong it is, because you never usually see the censored
material.
