Yeah, I tried to make a post (before this one) and got a Cloudflare error message that said I'm blocked. Then I tried to post to complain about it, hoping it was just a glitch, and then I was able to post. So I don't know what happened. Have the admins been having problems recently with Cloudflare or something?
It happens every time I tried to post this news story about Ebola Chan. It contains a link to the ibtimes news website. Is that what's causing the problem? Did the admins here on Animeforum configure their Cloudflare anti-spam filter to block the ibtimes website?

If your thread is long then try to post your thread in chunks instead of posting it all one time, also, there's a limit for certain character use in long posts.
I experienced the same problem before & posting my reply by parts; bit by bit solved my problem.

I believe this should answer your question: http://www.animeforum.com/showthread...ty-check-legit
Well it seems that at random I'm getting this error. I am not posting anything offensive. And I'm not posting anything overly long. It seems to block me for no reason at all, other than that some combination of character in my post, must slightly resemble spam according to some stupid algorithm it uses. Can you please put me on your cloudflare's white-list or something, so it doesn't block legitimate posts I make? I just wrote a paragraph in a post, and clicked post and got blocked. I hit my browser's back-button so I could re-try to post, but to my horror the posting box was empty, and my whole paragraph was GONE! I had written it so elegantly too, I'll never be able to get my post written so nicely again, no matter how many times I try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey I still need help with this. The post I was trying to make is still getting blocked by Cloudflare's oversensitive filter as a false positive for spam. Please fix.

It's doing it's job... Your ebola story is spam so please stop trying to post it. Even if cloudfare lets it through it'll just get deleted by a mod. End of story. It's not giving a false positive for spam it's giving a legit positive for spam. No one is going to add you to the "white-list" Move on from this topic.
ETA: Obviously you still have posting privileges since you can post in this thread. So as far as I know there isn't a problem other than you're trying to post content that isn't appropriate for AF... Again.

Also, on a reply somebody else gave to my thread about Anita Sarkeesian, I tried to reply to them. But my reply got blocked. It didn't contain any inappropriate content at all. So it's not just on my joke post about Ebola Chan that this happened. Sexist tropes in video games is a legitimate discussion topic.

Ok, just had this come up again. This time I more carefully read the error message, including the part that said to find out what went wrong, to contact the admin of the website and provide him with this number called the "CloudFlare Ray ID". So here it is:
1dac55c9c1f90508
Please let me know why my post was blocked.

If I seem to be derailing this thread, then I'll gladly take a slap on the wrist (so to speak). But I have to say, the fact that you lost your "paragraph" demonstrates a lack of common sense on your part. Security mishaps happen, which is why you should always copy your text before you press that submit button, or better still, prepare your post in an offline app, like Microsoft NotePad. It's not rocket science; don't blame AF for problems that you could have avoided.
And by the way, the same thing happened to me too, and like Astral Mage advised, I managed to fix the issue by pasting the same text in bite-size chunks. If those workarounds aren't working for you then you are likely posting content that is not considered suitable for this forum.

Admin, can you please check out Cloudflare "Ray ID" 1dac55c9c1f90508? That's what the error message said to report to the admin, in order to determine what went wrong.
