Unable to post: says I'm blocked

DiBosco · 06-17-2022, 04:24 AM

Hi, I've been on LQ for many years, tried to post today on the Software forum and it's telling me I'm blocked. I've looked back through my posts, no-one's hacked me and put rude posts from me, so I cannot understand why I would have been blocked. Especially when I can post from this part of the forum!

How can I get to the bottom of this please?

sometimes it happens. Wait a bit, probably an hour or a day and it will work again.

OK, thanks. I'll be patient!

Or you might have posted some coding examples. Cloudflare has often stupidly blocked whole posts as a result.

I have indeed posted code examples. I'll try editing, thanks!

Yep, taking out some of the code stuff worked. Thanks for the tip.

Code:

__rm -rf /everything

__<script>Do something here</script>

__curl -F 'file=@'$bad_file'' https://www.cloudflare.com

__ping -c1 cloudflare.com
PING cloudflare.com (104.16.132.229) 56(84) bytes of data.

__nmap www.cloudflare.com

I find that I can do that. Which may look silly, but it is consistent.

Also I noticed it doesn't work for (longer) scripts.

Just to see, you are not alone. We have several threads about it.
