Is anyone else getting 403 Forbidden errors when trying to post in certain threads? For me it's the Retrotink one in the OLED folder.

The spambot filter settings were too aggressive and it was falsing on some stuff very badly in unpredictable locations on the forums. It mainly happened when you tried to reply to posts that had an embedded image, a link, or an attachment -- and not always (erratically). It's very hard to find the nice Goldilocks setting -- either a lot of spam floods, or a lot of false positive blocks happens. Ugh.
I've adjusted the server settings surgically to fix that for logged-in registered users.
