Tried to post and was blocked. WTH??

[Salem Straub]

I don't know if this post will go through or not, but last time I tried to reply in a thread, no matter how/what I tried, I got a message that I'd been blocked and something in my thread had been detected by BF's security program and wouldn't be approved to post. I have never seen that before. Anyone else getting that?

 

[john april]

no i have not had it happen. i will check mine with this reply.

 

[Don Hanson III]

Salem, ya probably got put on one of those lists or something.

 

[Salem Straub]

Huh. It seems it only happens when I try to post that reply in that thread. I don't know- can't see anything amiss with my wording there.
I'm gonna go tinker with that.
Thanks for the response, John...

 

[Salem Straub]

Maybe it's because I have a vaguely Islamic first name?
I even tried just now to post a new thread with my response from that thread that blocked, and was blocked posting my new thread! The security doesn not like something about what I typed.

 

[Salem Straub]

I just tried posting it in here, for kicks, and was blocked. Huh.

Does your post have images or a link?

 

[S.Alexander]

That is strange. Try to PM me with it and I'll see if I can post it here.

 

[Salem Straub]

Bo, no image, no link, nothing. Just some pompous rambling about propane and coal forges.
I just tried to PM it to Shane and was blocked! So I PM'ed him about that, and the simple message got through!

 

[Salem Straub]

Well, I posted about it over in Tech Support. We'll see. How odd, though.

 

[S.Alexander]

Did you copy and paste your response from another site? I've tried to copy and paste from an HTML based site, and it wouldn't go through in the past.

Salem, The same thing happened to me about two days ago. I rewrote my post and hit submit again and it posted. I have no idea what triggered the block. Larry

 

[Jack O'Neill]

was it blocked by cloud flair . We had a big problem with that a couple months back . Did not like symbols .

 

[Salem Straub]

Yes, Cloud Flare. I'll go back through that post and re-type it and see what happens.

 

[Rick Marchand]

Has your membership expired? The thread you are trying to post in wouldn't be in ATG would it?

I got blocked from posting on fa
ce book after informing a gentleman he was full of _____ as a goose. Thing is, he was, no doubt in my mind. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it. The person posting below me was threatening to assassinate someone and the lady above me was using language I have never heard coming from the mouth of any female and I was in the Navy for 6 years.
Its in the soft wear recognition program where it goes berserk.

Salem is not even vaguely Islamic, Irish maybe, but not Islamic.

Salem is related to Hebrew shalom, Arabic salaam, peace.
Tech Support should clear this up, though. We still have an occasional problem with Cloud Flare, a security program.
