Comment (by to1):

 When I attempt to post HERE on trac.torproject.org, I see the following
 error:

 = Submission rejected as potential spam
 = Content contained these blacklisted patterns: 'h t t p :', '(?i) b u s i
 n e s s'

 Below the error message, a CAPTCHA is displayed.  If I solve the CAPTCHA,
 the page simply refreshes.  I see the same error message, but now there is
 no CAPTCHA, no submit button, or anything else.  I recreated my post and
 solved the CAPTCHA correctly a dozen times, but it would not accept a
 correct solution.  I see that another user encountered the same problem
 here and assumed it was a Cloudflare issue.  They clearly did not
 understand that Tor Project does not use Cloudflare.  However, the CAPTCHA
 system is obviously broken in Trac too.  Would someone please fix this (or
 disable the CAPTCHA until it can be fixed?)
