    From AdaMagica@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 30 02:47:06 2021
    Help needed.
    I've written over the years a lot of contributions to Ada Programming. Now out of the blue, I get the error message "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and hence your edit will not be saved. If you believe that
    this edit is constructive, please report this error. A brief description of the error is Chess spam."
    When I try to report this error, the same again.
    Now I'm frustrated. I cannot find any place in the wiki world where I can complain. Wherever I try, I get the same junk.

    Anyone knows what to do, where to complain?

    What happens if you try to edit a page? You hit a filter on a specific
    page, but those usually are triggered by keywords or that sort of thing.
    Wherever and whatever text I try, I get the cited filter error message. I write sensible sentences without expletives. And I sign with CKWG

    I'm one of the contributors too (User:ManuelGR). You might have been
    blocked because you share an IP or IP range with a spammer (unless
    "Chess spam" has anything to do with some of your editions). You should
    create a user account, so this kind of blocks do not affect you.

    https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help:Account_management

    Otherwise, try to change your IP, for example, rebooting your domestic
    router, if that applies. Another option is simply waiting; IP blocks
    should have an expiry time.

    You can confirm whether your IP is blocked here: https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Special:BlockList&ip=94.31.100.23

    I could speak up for you to the admins, if needed.

    Thanks, I tried the site - result:
    No matching blocks found for the requested IP address or username.

    What the heck! I tried again to edit - no chance.

    I could speak up for you to the admins, if needed.

    Seems like this is the only resort. Thank you Manuel
