Several phenomena must be distinguished:
  1. The script crashes reproducably, by bugs e.g. in the transformation algorithm - bad luck for us, let's split the message.

  2. The script crashes for some time, perhaps because of unforseen database failures or other bugs depending on internal status - bad luck, let's retry.

  3. The script slams the door because of elementary faux pas such as including more than two links, being a mere GUEST.

  4. Well, the script sometimes does issue a point of criticsm, e.g. if you don't want to to type "International Musical Gathering - Society for the Restoration of Cultural Equality" and try to abbreviate it by IMG SRC= – try it out!

  5. Bad words seem to be tolerated. There may be some more subtle spam detection, but I have not managed to provoke it yet, not even with my most "geekish" comments.

We have to bear our hard fate with dignity.
