[Solved] CloudFlare blocking signature change, WTF?

[SvenG]

Just wanted to update my signature and CloudFlare tells me In nice and friendly letters:

Sorry, you have been blocked
You are unable to access palemoon.org

Uhm, why? And where am I blocked????

Let's see.

This is how it looks, really dramatic (maybe due to my stylish skin).

and I just wanted to make the 25.1 a 25.2.

I just made a signature, checked it on one of my previous posts and CloudFlare did not block it. Then I deleted the signature.

[mikeysc]

I tried using your (SvenG's) signature exactly with 25.2 and got blocked message too.
Tried several edits before getting this one to go through.

[SvenG]

That's funny So it's the content of my signature that causes the block? CloudFlare is stupid.

EDIT: MUAHAHAHAHA, it's the dangerous "Gänsfüßchen" (double quote).... a simple inverted comma doesn't work either.

Obviously a false positive - but with advanced web application firewalls in place, that can happen
I'll check CF's firewall settings and see if I can make it a little less paranoid.

EDIT: Looks like your signature change was seen as a possible sql injection attack - definitely a false positive. I've disabled that particular rule for now.

Modern technology can be so much fun
