More of the same nonsense

Hello everyone, especially @FabL

More nonsense!

I’m trying to fix a typo in:

And when I save I get this:

Hi @Gaston

That “unauthorized access” error when saving the edit usually shows up when the forum’s security system blocks the link you’re trying to add. It can be because the URL of your guide is on a list of disallowed domains or because Discourse’s antispam filter flags it as suspicious (especially if your account is new or you have few posts, which I don’t think is your case :blush:). Try editing the post by removing the link. If it then saves correctly, you know the problem is that specific link. To include it, try writing it without the https:// at the start or split it with a space.

Regards.

Hello @sturpin

First of all, are you part of the OVH team?
If so, I would like to place it next to your username.

Now, regarding the issue I reported, it is not at all a problem related to my site's URL, which until now has caused no issues.
The problem I encountered comes from the fact that after posting my message, which contained several links to my site, I wanted to correct a spelling mistake. And that’s when your system bugged.

No, I'm not part of the OVH team. I'm just a forum user.

Regarding your issue, if the message was posted without any problems with the links, but when you try to edit it later you get an unauthorized access error, it’s probably a bug in the Discourse editor or a temporary security measure. Sometimes the system blocks editing of messages that are already a bit old or that contain external links, especially if they are edited several times.

Try copying the content of the message, delete the original post and publish it again with the mistake corrected. That’s the quickest way to bypass the block. If the error persists, contact a moderator (like @FabL) because it would then be a forum problem, not yours.

Hope I helped you :slight_smile:

Regards.

Thanks, cloning the post with deletion and republishing was the operation I used to do regularly with the previous forum.

Hello Gaston,

I’m following up on your topic after my answer on your other post.

I think that between the moment you created your post and when you wanted to edit it, your post was sent to moderation for spam.

I indeed found it in the moderation list. I imagine that the links to your website triggered the anti‑spam.

I’ll see if we can “improve” the spam detection on URLs, but I imagine the model won’t analyze every URL in depth because that would be very costly for the planet.

In my view, the chronology after your reply is:

You replied (with a spelling mistake) > Spam analysis positive > queue > you realized your mistake and wanted to correct > post inaccessible. (then eventually your reply was approved by moderation)

Thanks @Incognito for your analysis.

I hope NOT.

I already posted this message without any problem.
