It's this one:

Are you able to comment, dear reader? Because I activate “SAVE COMMENT”, the button changes to “S A V I N G . . . !”, and many lonesome minutes pass. I have tried on three, different web browsers over the past hour or so to no avail.

Do you think a veil is sexy and mysterious, dear reader?

It worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback!

I will try reducing the wit level of my submission, in hopes of producing some kind of effect.

EDIT: I seem to have discovered a comment that cannot be posted anywhere, not even this thread. It contains no “bad” words, and simply rearranging the sentences allows it to be posted.

Cool.

could be the same bug as this potentially https://battleofthebits.com/academy/GroupThread/35237/Cannot+edit+post+or+create+new+post+in+tex%27s+hotseat+thread+on+phone/

Thank you for the replies. However, I think this is a different issue, because it is the TEXT that triggers it—not the thread (so possibly the same issue as linked by dami but most likely not those linked by kleeder). Here is the actual text:

Try posting that verbatim to ANY thread on BotB (including this one), and the save button will hang on “saving”.

wtf

174368

after doing a little testing with the contents of that message, the part that seems to cause it to hang is

"get bored. [linebreak]"

174369

get bored.

ohhh it does not work u r righ

174370

get bored.

being bored is not allowed here, if you don't have ultra fun you're wrong on botb.

174383

get bored.

interesting that you both were able to get it to work with some amount of editing, it only ever hung for me (edit: ahhh, it works if you put a space after the period!)

174398

it is time to get bored.

(that worked??? although its not got) .

nevermind having got) . breaks it i cant save it

NEVERMIND bored. followed by a new line borked it i just didnt ahve anything following it

seems like bored. or ot bored. or whatever seem fine its as soon as its get or got bored that it breaks.

actually, does the line it's on matter?

get bored. it doesn't

i think botb should charge boons for edits you make. it would make an immense profit.

any songs that hav been annoyingly stuck in ur head recentlynnnnghf ?

Testing !

get bored.

174415

get bored.

174516

get bored.

174676

wait maybe it's that the linebreak is just 0a and not 0d 0a

according to kot, it'd seem like "any songs that hav been annoyingly stuck in ur head recently?" will also generate the error that won't let you post, and the same happens if you just remove the ?, or try to have anything after "head". seems to produce a 418 teapot error?

the issue seems to be with jquery, line 4 column 10145, 13967 and 16793 respectively. thisin turn also makes the firki interpreter on posts fail and not pop up when it's used.

174845

wow yeah, another trigger phrase is "head recently? [linebreak]" i guess no one can ask if you got lucky recently

174849

yeah "head recently" just Fucks unfortunately ! i wonder what the correlation between head recently? and get bored. is though

174850

i think i got a head recently?

but now that i have one, i think for 5 mins everyday and then i get bored.

174854

get bored.

get bored.

get bor

nice it works now!!!

174855

hey! looks like it was just another pain of moving from the .org to the .com -- I had to disable additional security in the dreamhost panel.

seems like a very certain combination of characters plus a newline at the end of the string would trigger the 418 error

let me know if it happens again!

174856

get bored.

head recently.

Fuck

I t WORKS

174875

I had the same problem a few days ago in one of the haiku battles.

I tried to post a smartass comment and it wouldn't save lol

Let me see if I can remember what it was...

You mother get up
Come, get down with the sickness
Madness, giv'n to me

Interesting that it let me save it this time 🤔

174876

yeah the problem is fixed thats why it lets you post it now

174900

174949
