Spurious bz "inappropriate content" rejection and now my bz account is locked

Spurious bz "inappropriate content" rejection and now my bz account is locked

[Nick Alcock]

So I just tried to submit a bug report with this content against
gdbserver:

A longer (untrimmed) version was rejected due to "inappropriate
content". Trying to add this version instead asked me to log into bz
(even though I was already logged in), then auto-locked my account "due
to spam".

Please can you unlock it, and if possible figure out what is causing
this false positive rejection and fix it?

Thanks!

(I'm no longer surprised this bug hasn't been fixed in a while: nobody
can report it :P of course that bug text is already incorrect because
I've now *done* the stuff I said was too hard to do. I still need to
report it, though, because it's user-visible, which is hard if reporting
it locks my account...)

Ping? (My account still seems to be "auto-locked due to spam.")
