Filter
The cause is due to being a new user and adding an external link to the site. The filters are designed to prevent spamming of external and advertising links for such users. Something which it genuinely blocks about 50+ valid attempts per day. If you make genuine edits to validate that you are a human and not a bot spamming, the filter will remove itself automatically and you wont face any more restrictions. In the mean time I have posted the original comment on your behalf. 02:44, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Forgot to add, the reason it blocked your message to an admin was because you copied and pasted the original message it was blocking, so of course it blocked that also. Simply contacting an admin to say that you was blocked is enough for us to be able to track it down and sort out the issue. Just a heads up if you encounter such issues in the future.

 * Oh, wow, someone actually noticed that little rant. Kind of embarrassing (and I can't nuke it!)... But thank you for the helpful reply, and for posting the comment on my behalf. I do hope that what I attempted to post proves useful. DavidJCobb 21:59, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I see everything 0.o and don't worry about the rant, you was right. This is the benefit of using the filters in real world scenarios is I can learn and then adapt the filters to work better. For example, you was right about being able to blank your own user pages, so I have now adapted the filter to allow this (so you can nuke it if you wish). If it doesn't just send me a message and I will have a look into it for you. User avatar tag.gifUser Avatar talk.png 22:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I have now lowered the bar for that particular filter, so you shouldn't be blocked from adding links any more. And yes, there is a detailed log for each blocked edit by the filters for debugging such issues likes these. User avatar tag.gifUser Avatar talk.png 01:19, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Blah blah blah, I like patch notes, blaahhhh
Is it really a bug if you're capable of repairing normal weapons with their unique variants? I'd make a forum or something before readily accepting that the whole UF3P changelog is accurate. :v Nitty the Kitty! 03:20, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree -- I'm new here, and I'm not entirely knowledgeable about notability standards, the degree to which speculation/assumptions are permtited, etc., for this wiki. That's why I've added the information to a subpage of my userpage, instead of actually going and editing the relevant articles with the information.
 * I've done some work on other wikis, but I've never really been familiar with in-MediaWiki forums... Do they just work as regular pages or something? DavidJCobb 00:27, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
