Dribbble will block your pic if named "Advertisement"

over 6 years ago from Ettore Tortora, Product Designer

I was uploading my latest shot for the Daily UI challange (nothing serious, just a really basic card) and I noticed the thing.

If you try to upload a file that has the word "advertisement" in its name, Dribbble won't load your picture. It took me several tries (changed browser, file format, different pic) before realizing that. Apparently Dribbble has a blacklist for some words.

Is this a known thing? What are other banned words?

EDIT: It was just the adblock blocking the picture.

dribble should rather block a shot, if you write in the description:
- press L
- follow me on
- show me some love
Or if its a picture from a shoe on a white rectangle with rounded borders.

Do you have Adblock loaded? Or an advertisement blocker of any sort? Dribbble allowed me to upload an 'Advert' shot but when I went to browse I realised adblock was blocked and targeting any 'advert' word.

  You genius! You are right, I was using uBlock Origin. I just tried again without the extension and it works. Silly me.

Hahaha, nice EDIT. Stuff like that happened to me as well. You think you're on to some big conspiracy only to find you've got a browser plugin ruining your day
