Et moi, je veux dire «Bienvenue!» Spud (talk) 13:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@Spud thanks for the words of comfort ! For a moment, that bot really made me feel unwelcome here. :) Flax94 (talk) 14:06, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Evil robots[edit]

@Spud hi, I was about to post an answer to your latest remark on the Charlie Hebdo talk page but I just found out that I've been blocked for 3 days by a bot called Edit filter. It says "Description of matched rule: Turki Nadelik". I have absolutely no idea of what this means or why I have been blocked... Do you know, by any chance, why this happened ? Is this some sort of technical goof ? Thanks. Flax94 (talk) 09:27, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

I think it must be. I've just unblocked you. I trust you not to be a deliberate troublemaker. Don't prove me wrong. Spud (talk) 11:10, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@Spud thanks. I felt like I was being victimized by a sociopathic bot... :) Flax94 (talk) 11:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@Spud sorry to bother you again, but I'm still blocked, apparently through my IP address... I tried to post my answer on the talk page, and the bot reblocked me right away. :( Flax94 (talk) 11:40, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I've unblocked you. When one of the Techs gets online I'll have them look into this. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 11:53, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@GrammarCommie and Spud Duh, I tried to post my answer again and I've been re-blocked by the bot. The message says "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and you have been prevented from executing it. In addition, to protect RationalWiki, your user account and all associated IP addresses have been blocked from editing. If this has occurred in error, please contact an administrator. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Turki Nadelik". :((( What should I do ? Flax94 (talk) 12:00, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Try holding off on your reply for a bit, at least until we get this mess with the bot sorted out. Additionally it might be prudent to report this on the Technical support page. ☭Comrade GC☭Ministry of Praise 12:03, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@GrammarCommie ok, thanks. I'll let you know when I am unblocked. Flax94 (talk) 12:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
You're all good now, if you want me to get your edit text back from logs I can. :) — Dysk (contribs) 13:43, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
@Dysklyver and GrammarCommie thanks, everything seems all right now. I hope it'll last... I really had the impression that this bot had something personal against me ! :) Flax94 (talk) 13:57, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
