Why the crap not?
I'm trying to make a thread on /adv/ and it keeps giving me this stupid error message. I can't detect anything in the body of my post that is remotely questionable. No links, the image size is frigging dinky, I didn't even use a goddammn swear word.
WHY is it not allowed to be posted? :-(
Is there a master list of banned phrases or some shit I can refer to?

Okay. Keep in mind I chopped it in half to make sure I wouldn't get that goddamn "comment too long" (/whatever) message either:
> Anyone ever tried couch surfing across seas via CouchSurfing dot com or Global Free Loaders?
> I'm currently working a seasonal job to get me through university. I'm due to start my second year this September, but I've been reading a bit on Couch Surfing and I can't help but wonder whether couch surfing for four to eight months might be a better alternative.
> With any luck I'd be returning to school after my couch surfing endeavour. I doubt I'll make enough money by the end of the summer to support myself for any longer than half a semester, but if I'm able to, I'll certainly try.
> I'm 18, so I still have some time to settle down and get serious about school. I'm still not entirely sure where I want to end up or what career I want to work toward.
> My problem is kind of twofold; I haven't yet brought this idea up to my parents as I'm sure they think the idea of a teenage girl traveling alone would be flirting with danger, and I just don't have a realistic enough idea about how the whole travel/couch surfing thing goes.
> As I would ideally be travelling from September to December, perhaps even until April if my wallet allows it, I'd like to travel Thailand. This way I can pack light and not have to worry about coats or anything. The trouble is that Thailand is significantly more dangerous than, say, London, and though there are folks in Thailand on CouchSurfing.com, there are probably not AS many as there are in the western world. So that doesn't give me a lot of room to be picky with who I stay with.
> As this whole idea is a new one, there are probably more than a couple gaps I haven't yet considered. Please, please, please help me out here. Tips on safe traveling and how I can convince my parents to support me would be much appreciated. Experiences with couch surfing, both good and bad, are highly encouraged to be shared.
> Also, I really like the idea of traveling Thailand, since I've been there before and absolutely adored it. But if it's really that dangerous to travel solo, I'm up for suggestions!
> Thanks so much in advance. :-)

Thanks, I guess I could have done that. I figured maybe this was a common error, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

@previous (Alina !hyQ1.Q19r6)
Its the sites you mention that are being blocked, doesn't appear to be any easy way around the filter either. I even tried c0uch surflng and other variations, re word your thread to leave out the actual site names and you'll be golden. People will still be able to give you advice...
