    Sorry to post here but I'm new and struggling to post my own thread.

    Every time I hit "Post" I'm told "Comment: Post has been blocked."

    No explanation, I have not included ant pictures or outside links so I'm mystified!

    How do I publish my Thread?

    Thanks.

    Hi, you had one comment sitting in Moderation, which I have now approved (and moved to its own thread). I don't see anything else.

    There have been some issues with DDOS attacks on the site recently, and severe rate limiting has been introduced as a temporary measure. I can only assume you've run into something there.

    Your next comment will also need to be manually approved, but after that you'll have full posting rights. I hope your issue is just a temporary glitch.

    I got the same problem right now while posting a reply to a reply to a post of mine.

    Hello, I wrote new thread with attached  images from Inkscape and got the same message "Comment: Post has been blocked.". Can you please check what is the problem?

    Hello, I ran into the same issue just now. Tried posting first in 'Beyond the Basics', then after its being blocked tried again in 'Beginners Questions' (figuring maybe that was obligatory for new forum users). Blocked too. Thanks for looking into this.

    Thanks Tyler for clearing that up.

    I wondered if some such rule was in effect, but did not find any indication. Perhaps I missed it.

    Might be useful to mention it along with the "Post has been blocked" line? Cheers
