Blocked ???? Weird

Tried to embed a YouTube video. Tried to just provide a link.
Stupid thing blocked my IP. Is it the site itself that blocks or a hosting company?

You guys tell me what's wrong with what was entered:

Also, how long does it block an IP for? I can't access the site from my office and I had to remote into my home network to access PCA. Good grief.

It's a known glitch with the BBS software - FP can unblock you. I got blocked out last year when I tried to post something about j@va. I seem to remember he needed my IP

The phrase "Amateur v*deo" may have triggered it.

The SPAM blocker is pretty weird. It's rarely a problem, but yeah sometimes the stupidest thing trips it.

You should have gotten a warning the first time you submitted it (doesn't always work) and then 2 more tries in a short time usually gets you blocked.

Got your PM and put in a support ticket to have your IP unblocked.

Support says they cleared the block. Interestingly, they said they also whitlisted it. That's the first time they ever offered to whitelist an IP.

So post a porn link now. I dare you.
