So you can't do this?The good news? It’s not your fault.
The bad news? There’s probably nothing you can do.

Re: 500 internal server error
The situation is even weirder. I can post like normal, except for this one article. It used an edited version of an expletive. I kept trying to post the article, including shortening it. It was only when I erased the edited version of the expletive, and typed in the real expletive, that it let me post it.
So weird.
That's what I get for trying to keep it clean.

It has to do with the security settings on the apache server that grb runs on. It's set to strict to prevent potential hacking attacks.
apostrophe dash dash is a way to close a SQL statement and another dash can open one. So the site is blocking any string that starts with ' has three dashes in it and ends with '
So in your scenario "nt give a f---" with single quotes instead of double was read as a potential SQL injection attack and blocked by the server.

Re: 500 internal server error
I had no idea either. I had to post here for help: https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2541251Joe Shlabotnik wrote: ↑February 13 20, 10:34 pmTheoSqua wrote: ↑February 13 20, 10:22 pmmikechamp wrote: ↑February 13 20, 9:42 pmThe situation is even weirder.

I was worried the site was vulnerable to sql injections. Turns out we're just overly cautious.
