I tried to add this:

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i * A very
simple
[https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,20726.0.html
loan calculator]
entry to the How-To Portal listing while editing the whole page and
saving the page was prevented by the Spam filter suggesting the site
was blacklisted.

Instead, I edited the General section of the page and it was saved
without complaint.

As the page is a page of links to the Forum, are there now too many
links causing on the page and this is causing the the spam filter to
activate?

Trying open for edit and saving even without any changes causes
message:

QuoteSpam protection filter

The text you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is
probably caused by a link to a blacklisted external site.
I have no idea why.

Urgh! Just like in programming you’ll have to gradually locate the
potential mistake, line by line:

It was “phone number”. Phone numbers are evil.

I hope I’m allowed to say phone number here without the forum telling
me I’m trying to insert spam.

Same problem as above. The word loan is evil.

The spam filter is really too sensitive.

Do you know if editing a section of a whole page bypasses the spam
filter? Once I edited only a section, it allowed me to add the "loan" 
item without a complaint.
