Title: I can't post long replies because it says i'm blocked
Post by: Lovecove on March 20, 2018, 11:31:59 PM
Title says it.

I've been trying to post a 375-word reply to a Bitcoin Discussion topic for 3 hours now.

It will let me post up to 2 paragraphs. If I post the whole thing, I get redirected to a "YOU ARE BLOCKED" Cloudfare page.

What should I do?

(I get that bitcointalk is dealing with some kind of DDOS. But if anyone can just pay someone an altcoin to DDOS bitcointalk for the whole day... then this isn't good.

That means for a whole day, the DDOSers can effectively control the type of quality people post during their DDOS.

E.g.: You can't post long posts now because of the DDOS. That means all post quality is effectively lowered throughout the attack.)

Open another tab and try post it from there, its probably new DDOS prevention measure put up by cloudfare not bitcointalk.

Thank you for the merits...

But i'm still having this problem. I retried to post my reply and it won't let me still.

Is there anyone I can contact about this? Because I'm pretty sure the DDOS attack is over now... but my IP (i guess it's just my IP) got blacklisted for long-worded posts.

I'd hate to sound like a tool, but I want to be honest and it's just that my signature campaign requires 7 posts per week. Tomorrow is Thursday. So, I'm kind of held to a professional responsibility and I'd like to fulfill that.

I'd appreciate it if staff could contact cloudfare or something lol um here's the info they keep giving me:

Cloudflare Ray ID: 3feefde4c9011fe2

EDIT:

I figured it out. There's a specific paragraph in my post that's triggering cloudfare. And I tried quoting it here, but I was blocked lol.

I have no idea which trigger words are there. But they're there lol.
