I was actually bit by the abuse filter directly, as I
was setting up a new
page on Meta, using a newly created account:
1. Because the page included an external link, I needed to enter a CAPTCHA.
2. The AF then threw a warning that my changes appeared harmful, citing "
new user youtube, &c"
3. I was then thrown back to the CAPTCHA, repeat endlessly. :) There was
no way forward.
That in particular is a long-standing issue (
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20661). I've been meaning to
fix it when I get a spare moment.
The other warnings about blanking sound suspicious. I think we fixed a bug
a few weeks back where blanking a section was triggering the blanking rule.
I think that's been deployed.
Thanks.

Most of the popular decline errors seem to be
related to removal of
large chunks of text, this sounds suspicious...
Bug 52077, possibly?
