Posting Reply - Blocked by CloudFlare - SIM-1725686 - Jun 27, 2016
Reporting a bug here, don't really know what's going on.
I was trying to post a reply to a thread (text here), but I was redirected to a CloudFlare error page that said "Blocked from Accessing HackForums."
I then proceeded to try to send a shorter reply, pointing to the Pastebin, but the site simply stuck on the "Loading" dialog you see after clicking "Post Reply."
Not sure if the site owner knew about this bug, but hopefully now it's in your attention.
Have a nice day, all.

It's recommended to remove any external scripts you have temporarily so you can post it.
However I've ran into this while running a bare-bones set-up, so I'm guessing it's just that CloudFlare is just extra anal when it comes to security, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it does make posting long posts or code a real hassle.
At the end of the day you just gotta deal with it, remove each quoted comment one at a time and try post, once you can post you'll have narrowed it down to which answer/quote was causing the block.
Hopefully that would help when next posting.
Edit: From what I gather in that pastebin link you think Javascript is a bad language, that's the reason CloudFlare blocked you, they are good at detecting bullshit in their traffic.

You're probably posting some code, if you put too much in your thread it'll block it for obvious reasons.

Nope, it's just the opposite. I was replying to someone who thinks that, though.

I don't believe I did, but I'll see if it was in a quote.

Looks like it's all those quotes now that I look at the text

Send a PM with the RayID to Omniscient. If you need help send me a personal message.

Hoping to look deeper into the firewall rules today actually.
