Nope, it's simply that the web address you saw was not in the filter. The filter does not filter out every URL, if it did, no player could refer a friend to their own site or anything like that. So if an RMT starts using a site that has yet to be blocked by the filter, it will get through until it's reported sufficiently to make it to the filter.
