Welcome =]

Yesterday, i attempted to reply something in the D2R general discussion section.
When i hit the post button, i instantly got a 6 hours suspension for prohibited content, and the post was cancelled.
The thing is, the content of that post didn't break any of the site rules in any way, and i mean it.
So i thought, maybe the suspension triggered from a different post i made earlier, and that it was just an unfortunate timing, though my post history is pretty clean.
Anyway, i'm a curious guy, so i waited the end of the suspension patiently, tried to post the same data on the same topic again, and the exact same thing happened.

Because it happened instantly on both occurrences, the suspension was obviously triggered by some automated site code, that somehow flags the content as prohibited.
That's a problem of course, because that's clearly a false positive.
So, by accident, i believe i found a flaw in the post content verification algorithm.

More users will suffer from that flaw in the future, so i guess that's an opportunity to identify what's wrong and fix it.
Unfortunately, i can't risk posting the concerned content here, since it will be flagged again.
However, i carefully saved the problematic data in a text file, and i'm ready to communicate privately with any admin interested in looking into it, so that more accounts don't get suspended for illegitimate reasons in the future.

Cheers.

Thanks for the reply =]
I don't have any question actually, since i already know the data i posted didn't break any rule.
That's more of a report, i will let the admins PM me if they're interested in fixing the bug, assuming they have the time to do so.
Furthermore, my second 6H suspension got unexpectedly aborted, so there's a possibility they might have fixed it already.
Cheers.

The site is free to have rules that are not explicitly called out which can include word filters. I recall that I used to play a FPS game and they had the weirdest word filter.... We used to say backpedal, but part of that word fragment is a derogatory slang for a homosexual in some European language, and while my intent was not to harm anyone, they enacted a word filter to ban anyone from the server using that word.

I hope you an appreciate that flagged word lists cannot be divulged as it just allows people to circumvent those words with things like sh!t shlt $h1t

Yeah, we have such region-related problems in D2R as well, but they are usually easy to spot.
In my case, i believe it's deeper than just unintentional usage of forbidden words, more like someone partially messed up a bot update, and my data just happened to trigger an unwanted jump or something.
But again, it's probably fixed anyway, otherwise i doubt my second suspension would have been aborted that early (2 hours instead of the notified 6).
