403 forbidden

[anonymous-user]

So annoying, so random

I think it might be certain phrases causing the issue, is there some filtering going on?

For example if I use this phrase and click preview I get a 403, however each word on it's own does not trigger it. I have had to use an image, as entering in a reply will of course trigger a 403.

Test - I'm getting this on the Tesla Model 3 thread

Edit - But not here!

I think that's a good shout. I posted a picture with a few words, got 403 forbidden. Posted it solo no probs

This has just started happening to me now.

Annoying.

It's maybe certain words that trigger it? Try posting half the words

They'll make a clinical judgement not a moral one.

ETA: taking the copy and paste and editing it down to that ^^didn't work. But typing it in fresh did.

It seems to be very random. Had two posts forbidden, then exit and retype the exact same and it posts.

Me too when I try to reply to a certain thread

Extremely helpful, thanks for this. We are still looking into it to understand a the cases and will come back with a fix soon. Keep the feedback coming!

• edit: For all the other hard to reproduce cases we've added extra logging in place and are trying to collect enough data to help us get to the bottom of it.

the words that seems to be triggering this is "you one ?" (without the space between "one" and "?")

We are still collecting data and working with our service provider to help us get to the bottom of this. Many thanks for all the feedback provided so far again!

Yeah very weird, at least we've managed to find a couple of reproducible cases of it and feed them back to our service provider, waiting for them to come back to us now.

Probably just the host at a guess

I’m getting this now after spending 10 mins writing a reply to a topic in the business forum.

I noticed my reply here went up OK so I tried my business reply and it went forbidden again so it’s not a sub-forum issue.
