New Comment:
User notes should not be articles. Just a short 50-200 characters long,
straight to the point. A collection of links is not appropriate either.

Thank you. But the website hadn't told me that. It had told me only
puzzles. I could even say that it lied me [links != words], turning me
to search the error in the wrong place.
What about that? Will it be corrected to be more informative?
And how can I write those example URLs to not be considered as a
spammer? If I change something in them it won't be illustrative any
longer [PHP_SELF and SCRIPT_NAME deals with URLs].

And what about simplifying for normal users? Problem is spammers, not
normal users. E.g. those "links"... for spam one link is enough to be a
spam. But for normal user there should't be any limits if he want to
paste some usefull links, e.g. to other programming
sites/articles/whatever. If there are URL limits, the user can walk
around it as easy as spammer can.

You are probably posting to many "links"..
And no. We are not removing anything from our spam protections, we have
enough problems with spam as is - simplifying things for spammers is not
on our todo lists.

Description:
------------
I can't post the following comment under the
http://pl.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php
topic because
the php.net service is telling me that I have some spam word in there
and I should remove it.
But HOW can I remove it if doesn't tell me WHAT IS that spam word and
where it is located in my post?!
P.S: That CAPTHA SUXX! It's telling me that I'm robot only because the
fact that I can't figure out what is inscribed there...
Reproduce code:
---------------
There is some interesting thing considering the PHP_SELF key.
For URL like this:
http://example.com/dir1/script.php?par1=val1
both PHP_SELF and SCRIPT_NAME keys will contain:
/dir1/script.php
The same is for URL like this:
http://example.com/dir1/script.php?par1=val1/some_pathy_thing
both PHP_SELF and SCRIPT_NAME keys will contain:
/dir1/script.php
But for URL like this one:
http://example.com/dir1/script.php/some_pathy_thing
there is a difference in PHP_SELF and SCRIPT_NAME:
PHP_SELF = /dir1/script.php/some_pathy_thing
SCRIPT_NAME = /dir1/script.php
And the same is for URLs like this:
http://example.com/dir1/script.php/some_pathy_thing?par1=val1
PHP_SELF = /dir1/script.php/some_pathy_stuff
SCRIPT_NAME = /dir1/script.php
Expected result:
----------------
Tell me what word is prohibited and where the system has found it,
allowing me to make a correction.
Or remove that functionality totally.
Actual result:
--------------
"Your note contains a prohibited (usually SPAM) word. Please remove it
and try again."
BUT WHAT AND WHERE?!
