Literally 1984

I once set up a clan-forum and blacklisted the word "bicycle", just to test if the blacklist worked and what the error message the user would see. I forgot to remove it afterwards. Half a year later one of my fellow forum users asked me why they couldn't post anymore... After some inquiry, my response could be summarized as: "Ops...!"

This could be a similar situation - or the servers just hiccuped. ;)

I've written an email to Mr. Fulp about this, but it's around midnight in 'NG City' right now and it 'is' a Sunday, so do not expect any immediate responses/fixes.

Just as a bit of general advice: As a precaution, you should set the age rating of posts discussing "illegal text" to "T" or "M".
English isn't my first language, so there is 'a chance' that what you wrote means something else to "those who know".

I wouldn't think using a banned word would result in that error but I'm checking with Jim. Can you PM me with the exact text you were trying to post? It's hard to read in the screenshot.

Please don't tell me it was "ice" that triggered the filter.

@Quest @TheJayJay "...and this is the moment in our story where it turned out that liljim hates 'Ice Ice Baby' by Vanilla Ice with the burning hatred of a thousand suns..." ;3

Jokes aside, this might be something similar to an earlier bug that might or might not have been fixed by now.
TheJayJay, did you 'copy and paste' parts of the post from an internet site or a word document (etc.) by any chance?

@TheJayJay Sorry that my brain boots up slowly. The last night was extremely hot for me (and not in a good way) and my attention is currently divided between 3 different things I am trying to finish in a limited time frame.

If you indeed copied part of the text, TheJayJay, there is also the possibility that some 'formatting' was the culprit, rather than the words. The following is a tool I was linked to by liljim when I tried to provide additional assistance in relation to the the aforementioned bug*:
https://evercoder.github.io/clipboard-inspector/
It allows you to copy all the tasty formatting along with the text. Chances are, the moment where this would have been useful has passed, but you could add it to your bookmarks if something similar comes up again.
(And I'm adding @Quest as well, because she might find that tool good to have as well.)

Turns out this was because we require a subject line to have at least one 3+ letter word, while your subject line was "Oh no..."
