Just a quick heads up that the new CloudFlare security measures against DDOS attacks also seen to be preventing paying off scripts here in posts. I tried to post a python script earlier and it triggered a CloudFlare blocking.

Can you post an example to pastebin? I want to see if it happens with the wiki as well.

I've added an exception to that rule on both wiki and forum, so it should work.
For future ref, issues like this will come up (until we've tuned cloudflare) since it has a web application firewall that protects us against attacks, but also some legit content.
This was SQLi probing for example.
If you do have this problem again, code snippets like this are great, otherwise you can just give me the IP and exact date/time you tried to do whatever caused the blocking and I can look through the logs and do an exception.

Confirmed - I've added the script into the post as a test and it worked fine.
Thanks Keith.
