I was just replying to a post trying to instruct a user on how to fix an issue they were having.

Part of my reply involved editing the hosts file in the etc directory, so I typed that path.

When I went to post my response I got a big popup saying I was blocked. No reasoning, etc.
It took me 5 minutes of removing various things from my reply to figure out the offending text and it was the path to the hosts file.

I can't put that in my post without the spaces. What gives?
 
Cloudflare is pretty sensitive, and rightfully so - it sees some text strings as a possible hack on the software that support the forums...
