Can't post new thread

[Atown512]

I can't post a new thread in the Introductions & Networking forum. Am I not able to post new threads in that forum after a certain number of posts? It's been a few months since I've been on here, so I was trying to reintroduce myself before posting in other forums

What happens when you attempt to make a new post there? What do you see and what does it do?

Why not add to your first intro?

I am using google chrome and whenever I click submit thread or preview post it says this:

I should report exactly the same problem and error message when trying to post in the SEOslimeball thread last night

My browser of choice is also Google Chrome

No problems apart from that one particular thread

Why not add to your first intro?

I didn't really think about that option. I just thought I'd be polite and post another quick intro. Also, I'm not too sure if anyone would read past my first intro, but I'll go ahead and post it there anyways...thanks

 

[Atown512]

hmm...I just tried to add to my first intro, but I get the same error. I can post quick replies in other threads, but not my own. I also get the same error if I "Go Advanced"

Are you using any possible censored words? P0ker? Casin0s? S3X?

P0ker is definitely in there...had no idea that word might be censored, but still got the same error trying to post in a different thread without p0ker in there

How come there are censored words?

looks like it was the word "p0ker" preventing me from posting. I changed the o's to 0's and it let me submit the thread this time...I hope there's not a problem with me using that word for some reason.

 

[kwerner]

Yep, I've had the same problem many times since the forum upgrade. It's always one of a number of keywords that triggers the forum filter; sometimes it's a keyword that you wouldn't even think is spammy but it still triggers it for some reason.

 

[MJ DeMarco]

How come there are censored words?

I have no idea -- haven't found out what is triggering it. There's a "Censored Words" list in the control panel, but these words are not in there. In fact, I have the entire field empty and yet, p0ker is still triggering it, among other unknown spammy words.

maybe the empty field is triggering this by using default words in case the field is empty. try to add a few nonsense words maybe?

I am getting this now quite often and it's getting pretty annoying.

Does anyone know a way to get around this from happening?
I'm using Chrome, but I doubt this has to do with it. I was trying to post a reply with the three letter word that starts with se and ends with x, but reading about how the forum possible censors such words, I cleaned the word out of my post.
But...that didn't help either.

If I just try to Go Advanced on a blank new reply, I still get that error message.
Mods - any ideas?

 

[MJ DeMarco]

A spam keyword is probably contained in the post. We've isolated p0ker as one of them.

BTW, I've ripped apart the vBulletin software and nothing therein should be causing this to occur; I've also looked at the server configs as well.

 

[LightHouse]

I have been getting this a lot, trying to reply to threads. I don't think any of them had censor-able words though, some were just simple answers. could be hindering a lot of posting!

 

[MJ DeMarco]

I should have this fixed within an hour or so, just found the issue.

Great! Thanks for getting on it so quick..

I like to play poker.

Is porn a Fastlane?

I'm visiting the casino tonight to gamble - hope to win some moola and see some sexy women.

Drugs are bad for you even Viagra.

There's an avenue in central Phoenix where all the prostitutes hang out.

Quit whoring posts to pimp your post count.

Roosters are sometimes called cocks.

If all this shit goes through, hooray, it worked!

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Ya'll should be good to go. Let me know if there are occurrences.

BTW, if anyone is having issues with this in other forums, you must check your server settings, specifically, the mod_security settings which is a default installation on many new servers. Mod_security comes with some default spam protection for many common words: Poker, mortgage, loans, etc.

Wow, what a great post MJ!! Lol.

But seriously, yeah it looks like you fixed it!
What I did to finally get my post through in the "Escorts" thread was also remove any reference I had made to "adult video", "prostitute", and "brothel".

But now we can all cuss like sailors, haha..
