You've Been Blocked....

[Jman8]

Was typing up post in another part of the forum (New Members) and prompt came up saying, "unable to post, you've been blocked from ECF forum."

Or something like that. I clicked it off as it didn't make sense how it came up and was wondering if I missed an alert from a moderator or something (didn't see anything).

Was really larger prompt, taking up most the screen and occurred while I was typing post, so unsure how it was triggered. As I don't appear to actually be blocked from ECF, I though site feedback might be place to inform staff that this occurred.

P.S. The same did not occur while typing up this post.

were you trying to start a thread in the new members?

only noobs can start threads there.

No. Was replying to existing thread.

Went in to repeat what I was doing, and the prompt came up again. It said it was based on wording I was using. And from what I can gather, it seemed to be based on my choice of using a word that is synonym for teaching and starts with the letter "i." Just trying to type it up here caused the prompt.

Instructing? Is that the word causing the prompt?

 

[Jman8]

Yes. Though minus the "ing."

 

[proteckt3d]

Instruct. Didn't work

 

[Jman8]

Yeah, for some reason, now I can type the word.

But I choose not to, LOL.

This looks like a job for @retired1 or @flushdraw

I would also note that I recall it mentioning SQL issue in the prompt. I'm thinking it thought I was trying execute some sort of command that could conceivably impact the database.

It's cases like this where the exact error shown or a screen shot of the error would go a long way to allowing us to troubleshoot.
