When I try to submit a post or comment containing the string [slash]etc[slash] passwd, the submit button goes into a loading state and spins indefinitely. The request is blocked by Cloudflare with status code 403. I can’t even search for the forbidden string. You have to check dev tools to find out what went wrong, this error is not handled in the UI at all.

So, if you’ve ever tried to reply to a tech issue and the UI just won’t let you, maybe this is why.

    What the heck, it consistently does not work for me. I guess that’s not the only deciding factor in why my posts don’t go through. I’ve changed the pronoun in my post from ‘you’ to ‘I’ because it doesn’t apply to everyone. ^^

      Hmm, weird. I notice that you’re using Firefox; maybe that’s the deal. I am too:

      Aha! I think that might be it! I can’t on Firefox either.

      Edit: Nope, just tried it on Boost, and that didn’t work either.

        Ok, I was on the “old.” skin; let’s try the standard skin.

        Nope, it doesn’t work on the standard skin, either.
