Problems Making a New Thread

So I tried making a thread today and upon submitting it I came upon this page:

Does anyone know what might be the cause of this. Thanks

Basilmarket has been using a service called "Cloudflare" to help prevent attacks, and it checks incoming connections for what appears to be part of an attack.
I haven't seen this screen myself, but I've gotten similar popups at various times from things as simple as including the word "Basilmarket" in a PM.
It may be triggered by cumulative events, that is- if it thinks there's an attack ongoing, it may increase its scrutiny of incoming messages, which may block legit things too.

Try posting it again at a later time and see if it goes through.

@Flexography: how much did you cut it down to?

Then once it did let you post, did you add the rest of the stuff back?

[quote=Flexography]I got that page when my post was 2700 words long[/quote]The post I tried to make is 5715 words.

Wasn't the word limit supposed like 10k though?

I'm assuming that there might be a string that the filter doesn't like but instead of telling me like it used to I'm getting this page.
