    It seems so... I don't know what the word is, but I suspect there is a web site with that name (eg: OtherNameForBroker.com) that has spammed one of our sites at some point.

    I'm somewhat astonished that the url OtherNameForBroker.com seems to be available....anyway, not an issue, just a curiosity, as I use the European term anyway.

    With that hint I had a vague recollection of the name... and I found that we did have related spam a few years ago (but not with .com )

    It's OK to write it with a space (Clearing House), even tho it could be interpreted as avoiding the filter - because the filter is there for a specific website, not the name.
