Chris.mas is Spam Related Word??

Tried posting a thank you which included the word Chris.mas and prompt came up to tell me not to use the word Chris.mas as it is a Spam related word! Mario, would love to hear your rationale for this.

Ah, someone was posting tones of forum spam last year with "Christmas" being the only common word in those posts, and at some point I had no choice but to exclude it. I removed it now, hopefully those spam posts will not come back.

Thank you for your reply Mario. Here is my original post:

I'm a new user and was skeptical about the results but having just won a much wanted Christmas item...I'm now a believer! Thank you.
