Got myself banned, hmmmm.....

Well, I was editing my Weblinks section descriptions and giving them actual "descriptions" under the link header titles. (had been meaning to do this for a while, but hadn't done it......)

Well, in any case, I got myself banned when I added a quote (") to my description:

Quote:

Date & Time: 2004-06-26 11:57:51
Blocked IP: 69.xx.xx.xx
User ID: SmackDaddy (3)
Reason: Abuse - SCRIPT
--------------------
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Query String: www.mydomain.com/admin.php?title=General&cdescription=The+%22Catch-All%22+Link+Category&sub=0&cid=6&op=LinksModCatS
Forwarded For: none
Client IP: none
Remote Address: 69.xx.xx.xx
Remote Port: 1521
Request Method: GET

What I had typed was:

Code:

The "Catch-All" Link Category

as the description, and then it converted the quotes to %22 in the browser address bar and blammo, I was banned. Now, I knew how to un-ban myself, but this doesn't seem right that I couldn't use quotes where I should normally be able to use them without the Sentinel Script.

Bug? Feature? Shut up and deal with it?

Thanks in advance....

Even if Sentinel wasn't installed, I believe nuke mainfile.php code would have stopped it. To prove it, comment out the Sentinel "include" statement in mainfile and try it again.
