closed CloudFlare blocked forum post

[dalekphalm]

I was just typing up a reply to a forum thread, and when I went to post it, I got a big red and white X and a CloudFlare message saying that I have been blocked. After posting this, I'm still able to navigate through the forums. You can see which thread I was attempting to post in on the URL address bar.

 

Side note: I lost my post I was writing because of this

Pretty unusual.

What were you trying to include in your post? No SQL or anything, right?

[Djole123]

Were you swearing?

Nope just a bunch of text about sleeping patterns. No code of any language (actual code or pseudocode), just plain English.

Cloudflare blocked you because it felt you were trying to perform SQL injection. Rewrite what you were going to post, but back it up to somewhere like notepad or word before posting. If it gets blocked again, paste what you were going to post into a website like pastebin, then post the link here.

Eh I wrote too much to rewrite It's gone forever. I definitely won't be able to remember word for word what I wrote.

Yeah, this is the first time for me, but I'll keep an eye on things, and we'll see how it goes. I think it was just a one-off error.

Now, perhaps I'm not quite familiar with how cloudflare detects sql injection, but why would it false positive with formatting on a plaintext document like a forum post?

Wouldn't it more likely watch for behavior from the web browser/medium used to connect itself?

Cloudflare is not only a DDoS protection service - it also protects against other attacks, including what it perceives to be SQL injection.

Happened to me too. I can replicate this on Opera and Edge. I'm way too sleepy to keep going. So the issue is, if I type this on one line without spaces I get the error:

If you go and make a new thread again it should be saved. Mine saves if I exit out and reopen it

OK, so posting works now but I still can't edit the line in. That gives a different error on this site that says

This comment can no longer be edited. It may have been moved or deleted, or too much time may have passed since it was posted for it to be edited.

[Naeaes]

cmd.exe Yup. Posting works now.
