That must be the difference (or I was blocked by some filter). I didn't try to make a social-media call-for-action, because I didn't want to trigger voting-ring protections.

EDIT. As for the filters... PH doesn't allow comments which include "ps aux" or "curl" strings. I learned this by studying HTTP responses using Developer Tools, because the error was not signalled in PH's UI :).

Yep, the absence of enforcement ends up hurting people who abide by the rules.
Doesn't allow or has problems storing it?

Any decent comment system should accept that kind of comment without choking on it.

From my investigation it seems that it's some kind of filter provided by Cloudflare, in this case blocking a possible "shell script injection".
