Hi there,

I am using bbPress 2.5.3-5249, WP 3.8.1 and theme dw-minion on http://www.blogperle.de.

My user contacted me with the information that he can’t create a topic.
Errormessage: ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this time.

I found out, that the german word “Aufforderung” is the reason that the error message appears.
Every time I tried to use “Aufforderung” the bbpress denied to create (and edit) the post.

Wherever I used it in title or in bodytext, it does not work. I checked every user role. Only with Administrator rights it works with this word.

I checked within “Settings” > “Discussion” > “Comment-Blacklist” if this word is there. It is not.

Any help for this? Aufforderung means “challenge” (to sb. to do sth.) or better “request”.

That’s really weird, I tried to recreate your issue but I couldn’t.

Any topic or reply by a participant containing ‘Aufforderung’ was posted fine.

(Akismet plugin activated with an active API key)

Any chance another plugin might be causing this?

Sideline: I wonder if Akismet added it by mistake as a ‘bad word’ and now they have reversed that and that’s why it now works for me, does it still happen now?

Hi Stephen, thank you for the response.

I do not use Akismet.

If you want you can try the word “Aufforderung” here: http://www.blogperle.de/it-probleme-beheben/topic/suche-notizprogramm-wie-zettelkasten-portable/

My used plugins:

In this moment I see Antispam bee. Antispam Bee protects blogs from digital rubbish. It is made up of sophisticated techniques and analyzes comments including pings.

Le me check this plugin. I comment then my informations again.

[joshivince]

OK, i deactivated Antispam Bee. The error is not gone. Still the word Aufforderung don’t let me create topics or let me modify them.

Except when I log in as an administrator. Then I have no problem. But this is not a solution for me =)

Please help…

Regards,
Vince

Some of our users also report this error – that they cannot post ..
it is not related to this german word though.. as the site is in English

and I have no idea why it would happen to them..

🙁

I can’t replicate it myself, but even a moderator had such problem once..

[kriskl]

our users discovered one (hopefully) reason why they get this message
“ERROR: Your topic cannot be created at this time”

If the post contains
‘Thank you in advance’

then their post will be blocked…

so, how do I unblock this?? so users who don’t know about it, are not affected?

[Stephen Edgar]

This has nothing to do with bbPress per se, if you have added Thank you in advance those terms to ‘Comment Moderation’ or ‘Comment Blacklist’ in Settings -> Discussion then you should remove them this also includes if you have the term van then because ‘advance’ includes ‘van’ it will be blocked.

Hi Stephen, you’ve right!
I checked my blacklist and here we are:

I said, that the german word “aufforderung” doesn’t work.

Here a snippet of my blacklist:

(…)
mail.ru
nolvadex
order
retin
viagra
(…)

The word “order” is included in “aufforderung”. So I have no more problems!

Thank you many much and regards from Germany!
