Cloudflare throttling

4 replies

Helleofabore · 20/07/2025 10:43

Over the past few months I have noticed that some posts that contain more than one or two links can come up with a cloudflare notice saying posting is temporarily banned. I know that I am not the only one, others posted about this previously too.

How ever, this is happening more regularly now. Is this something that the tech team has implemented? Can they look into it please?

Of course, I will try for a screen shot next time it happens.

Hi there @Helleofabore ! A screenshot would be really helpful - thank you. If we can see exactly what's happening that will really help with trying to solve the issue.

I will see whether I can get one next time. Thanks HebeMumsnet.

Hi again @Helleofabore. Thanks for the screenshot you sent over. We're just replying here too in case anyone else was having similar issues.

The Cloudflare message you're getting will be to do with our spam filters, which sometimes recognise behaviours such as posting lots of links as a possible spammer. That's why the account is temporarily disabled. You should find that once we've checked it out the account is automatically resinstated but if you ever experience this and find your ability to post doesn't return just drop us a line and let us know and we'll be able to sort that for you.
