Users are experiencing issues posting threads in the Programming section due to Cloudflare's security measures, which block submissions that may contain certain words, SQL commands, or malformed data. The error message indicates that the action triggered a security solution, preventing the post from going through. To resolve the issue, users are advised to contact the site owner, providing details of the action taken and the Cloudflare Ray ID. Additionally, attempts to attach files are also being blocked, complicating the situation further. This indicates a need for adjustments in the site's security settings to accommodate legitimate programming content.

I was trying to post a thread in the Programming section, when I started receiving error dialogs when I clicked on "Post Thread". The console shows this:

HTML: 
    <div class="cf-section cf-wrapper">
        <div class="cf-columns two">
          <div class="cf-column">
            <h2 data-translate="blocked_why_headline">Why have I been blocked?</h2>

            <p data-translate="blocked_why_detail">This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.</p>
          </div>

          <div class="cf-column">
            <h2 data-translate="blocked_resolve_headline">What can I do to resolve this?</h2>

            <p data-translate="blocked_resolve_detail">You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page.</p>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div><!-- /.section -->

The thread contents is attached as a .txt file.

Not sure what I should do now. I know this is set up for security, but it probably requires some re-work.

Edit: Apparently I cannot attach the file either?! I've uploaded it here.

Thread 'Official Response to "Allegations of AI misuse in PF"'

Dear Physics Forums members, I want to address a serious mistake that has impacted our community’s trust. A deeply regretful error of judgment that I alone am responsible and accountable for. No other staff had any knowledge. During the past several months, to counter declining engagement, I experimented with generative AI, intending to add value to "thin threads", especially those with 0 replies. The thread AI experiments were as follows: Discussion summary above the OP Topical FAQ at...
