I was actually bit by the abuse filter directly, as I was setting up a new page on Meta, using a newly created account:
- Because the page included an external link, I needed to enter a CAPTCHA.
- 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?
