Can't post in "Systems" forum?

[cnickerson]

Every time I try to publish thread it says I need a more detailed title with 3 or more words. I had the title up to 10 words and it kept saying I need more words?

"Please provide a detailed title (3 words required)"

Also the body of the post says to be more specific or something. I posted fine to the graphic card forum but it wont let me post to systems forum.

"Please provide more details"

Did you actually type the title in, or just copy/paste? If it was copy/paste, you may need to delete a character then re-enter it to trigger the validation again.

Other than that, don't know sorry.

I had the same problem with other forums, still trying to figure it out.

If your title has numbers in it, it may be triggering some anti-spam stuff - we've been having a bunch of issues with people spamming phone numbers.

Try typing it all in again.

My title did not have any numbers in it and I tried multiple times. I eventually got it to work, I believe my description was too many lines and it would not let me post.

That would be a damn long description; I've seen ones that go off the bottom of the screen.

It's the only thing I can think of because that is the only thing I changed

This is a known bug. Despite what the feedback tells you, it's not related to the title of the post. The post filter does not like something in the body, I believe that it's related to link on the local PC.

Yep, our anti-spam filters are quite strict right now, and has been causing problems when posting or editing threads. We're looking into ways to relax the rules for users while still filtering out the worst of the spam. Right now, it looks for number patterns in the post (because of those darned tech support hotline spammers), and is a little too aggressive since more than a few users have reported issues because of this.
