TOPIC: I Am NOT a Hacker!!!

WHY does this site keep accusing me of being a HACKER? I've been contributing to this site for YEARS.

And the last thread I was in, I typed out a very long response and hit "Submit", only to have it COMPLETELY wiped out, and accused of "Hacker-Like" action. WTF? Very FRUSTRATING to say the least.

And is there some restriction on posting Amazon links? It would be nice to have been informed of this. I understand the long-standing restriction on eBay links. But this is something new.

Hopefully you can tweak the software to be a bit less Draconian, while still protecting the site from Malevolent sources.

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

Why This Happens

• Security Rules: The extension blocks input when it detects patterns resembling Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or SQL Injection (SQLi) in form submissions, request bodies, or HTTP headers.
• False Positives: Legitimate text, code snippets, special characters, or browser extensions can sometimes trigger these strict regular expression (regex) filters by mistake.

How to Resolve It

• For Site Visitors / Users:
• Avoid using special characters, HTML tags, or script-like text in form fields.
• Try disabling browser extensions (like autofill or translators) that might alter how form data is sent.
