I still can't post properly - this means no more pics at the basho and maybe no posts at the basho at all

Has a forum admin or someone else who is knowledgeable about the forum tried to fix the issue? No posts from you would be a terrible loss...

Not yet, it seems nobody can post multiple pics anymore. 2 at once is ok, so I can do my new recruits posts, kensho and the like, but no pics overviews from now on

[Jakusotsu]

I can only confirm this issue, but the only one able to do anything about it would be @Exil, I'm afraid.

[Jakusotsu]

I've moved this issue to a new topic. To elaborate: sometimes when you try to post a reply with one or more embedded content this error page appears recently:

Forbidden

I had that problem while trying to send this post the other day, so it wasn't image/embed-related for me. In fact, it didn't appear to be related to anything within the post at all; selectively removing parts didn't change anything (except for removing everything and just writing "test"), but when I tried to post the full text to the test forum it worked just fine there. I can't say what exactly I did to make it work in the end.

Trying to edit large parts into an existing post leads to a similar error: the post can no longer be edited, it has been deleted or removed

At another IP I can actually edit in full - likely only till that IP triggers the blacklist as well

The first abnormality I noted was that editing my links to change the displayed text wasn't possible anymore: there was an error loading this content

I havent't tried using the test forum as a transport vehicle yet, anyway posting larger contents has become too tedious now

Right, I saw that error as well.

I just ran into this issue when quoting another post, no embedded media.

Quoting is kind of embedding.

[Akinomaki]

The error is completely erratic and unpredictable: I managed to post 7 or more pics one day, on others more than 2 gave the error. Yesterday I couldn't even post one big pic, only the small version, today no problem.

Similar to the YT harassment "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot", which I'm getting frequently - it goes away after a few days and reappears

[Akinomaki]

Now I can't post anything at all - in the sumo section. Though I should know by now it's deadly, I tried to edit a link, or rather accidentally clicked on it to try to open the URL and text window - that isn't possible now and it triggers the blacklist error, but so far I could post at least text

One thing that has worked for me when the error pops up is to CTRL+C the post content to save it, reload the page, and use the "Your previous content has been restored. Clear editor" option. Pasting the content back into the newly cleaned post box seems to be okay then.

[Asashosakari]

Apparently a hard limit is the inclusion of more than three links in a comment...even the trick mentioned above doesn't work for that.

Edit: Specifically links via BBcode, i.e. [ url= ]. Copy-pasting actual HTML (e.g. my ex-sekitori tables) still works fine even with dozens of links, as does using the linking feature unless you try to change a link you've already put in, as we've observed.

Since @Exil didn't announce any updates recently, I wonder if that error is caused by the hosting server rather than the forum's software.

[Jakusotsu]

@Akinomaki Is that problem gone now?

Just asking because you're able to post many pictures again.

I'm able to avoid the problem, I don't think it's gone. The pics post is a copy paste from my pics list and that works with any number of pics and links so far.

I don't think I could post 3 YT links though or edit several links and then post

[Asashosakari]

It hadn't occurred to me until just now (in both the literal and figurative senses of "occurred to me"), but even the embedding of links to other forum posts triggers the blacklist error.

[Koorifuu]

Weirdly enough, that's happened to me today every time I tried to make a joke about rekoP sratS (reverse the letters in those two words).

No issues otherwise.

Any news here on the technical side?

I ran into this same message today. I tried to pm someone for playing one of my games, I included the thread link in the message and it gave me the message. I resent again without the link and it sent without any issues

Funny, reply to this triggered the error 

You can't embed forum links anymore by just pasting them into the post 

You have to use the link icon to create the link

Can we find a list of forbidden words on the forum somewhere?

One in a post just triggered the blacklist error

Activity update

Not quitting YT and not quitting gambling

- blacklisted, piece by piece adding - not working now - not even a longer sentence can be added

- apparently words trigger the blacklist: c*sino is one  - the plural is OK

Takatoriki was at one in Seoul, but said he may have no time to go to casinos now,
because he is preparing the opening of a sumo museum at his location in Kanuma, Tochigi

also if in a quote

As expected, the blacklist error strikes more severe now

So far I could avoid it by creating links with my old Firefox 47, now with forced https, links can't be created with the forum editor - a try and the error strikes

YT videos can't be embedded any more - an "undefined" error

I compiled the post from the Fuyu jungyo piece by piece here, but still can't post this in the thread

Trying to post a quote of this post also causes the error

posting a dummy in the thread and copying the contents of this spoiler into it did it - but I won't post, if I have to do that every time

As stated in Kintamayama's post in the "Bug" thread, maybe Exil is in the process to solve all these issues? Hopefully within the next days ?
