Help me understand what I am doing wrong please...

I tried sending a message to someone in a private message, but system sent a message saying that it violated the community guidelines. I have never had this problem before. I am getting messages saying that I can't even post it here either. It doesn't contain any profanity. It doesn't use words that could be construed as insults. The only thing questionable, would be the use of links, to point someone to YouTube, for chess learning. Is this against the rules? I have never had any trouble in the past. 

AI is learning via its programmers - who are not very bright !

I wasn't sure if it was aa new spam policy or some form of misunderstanding. I called myself an !diot in a private message with someone and it was disallowed. It definitely needs some refinements. It is good to see you, btw, and happy new year. Feel free to drop me a line sometime in a PM.

likewise my friend -

the "internet noose" continues to tighten -

most are oblivious !

The current content filter is a very simple text match algorithm and is likely triggering on a substring or strings in the content. If you're including HTML content, that could also contribute

edit: I see your last post and that would do it if they're not on your friend list 

Yes, they weren't in my friends list, and I appreciate the reply, Martin. Happy New Year.

was muted for a few days because I tried to send a bit - - chute video via PM

apparently - they have yet to figure that one out yet !
