Title: Why can't I post "/etc/hoosts" with one o?
Post by: LoyceV on January 14, 2018, 03:00:04 PM
Bitcointalk just scared me with this full screen message:
https://s17.postimg.org/se6chuhkv/blocked.gif
It seems to be coming from Cloudflare, not Bitcointalk, but it scared me nonetheless. This warning couldn't have been any bigger :o

I tried to post this:
~ /etc/hoosts ~
And "hosts" was written with one o.

Is there a specific reason I can't mention this normal file on my computer? It was possible in the past (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1792180.msg19619942#msg19619942), and if I quote that message, I get the same message: Sorry, you have been blocked.

Pm/Email theymos. Cloudflare seems to block certain keywords: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2614247.msg%msg_id%

 
Fixed, thanks. Whenever this happens, please email or obfuscate-then-PM me what you posted. Cloudflare has a ton of rules, some of which seem useful (like detecting fake robots), but others do stupid stuff like that.

Thanks Welsh, PM sent to theymos.

Theymos fixed it, I can post "/etc/hosts" again. Thanks!
