6. The site bounces my posts when there's a funny character in the title.

Sometimes converts the character or removes it. Might be defense against hackers.

But I and others will get an error for no obvious reason on some posts while others go through ok.

I suspect that it's Unicode characters in the body that the site doesn't like. Again might be defense. Perhaps against SQL injection or suspected ddos attacks. They don't tell me the defensive positions and arms!

And I wear a white hat!
