Help needed.
I've written over the years a lot of contributions to Ada Programming. Now out of the blue, I get the error message "An automated filter has identified this edit as potentially unconstructive, and hence your edit will not be saved. If you believe that this edit is constructive, please report this error. A brief description of the error is Chess spam."
When I try to report this error, the same again.
Now I'm frustrated. I cannot find any place in the wiki world where I can complain. Wherever I try, I get the same junk.

Anyone knows what to do, where to complain?
CKWG

Ha no. I cannot edit any pages in wiki world.
I need a more direct contact.

What happens if you try to edit a page?  You hit a filter on a specific
page, but those usually are triggered by keywords or that sort of thing.

Wherever and whatever text I try, I get the cited filter error message. I write sensible sentences without expletives. And I sign with CKWG

I'm one of the contributors too (User:ManuelGR). You might have been 
blocked because you share an IP or IP range with a spammer (unless 
"Chess spam" has anything to do with some of your editions). You should 
create a user account, so this kind of blocks do not affect you.

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Help:Account_management

Otherwise, try to change your IP, for example, rebooting your domestic 
router, if that applies. Another option is simply waiting; IP blocks 
should have an expiry time.

You can confirm whether your IP is blocked here:
https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Special:BlockList&ip=94.31.100.23

I could speak up for you to the admins, if needed.

Thanks, I tried the site - result:
No matching blocks found for the requested IP address or username.

What the heck! I tried again to edit - no chance.

Seems like this is the only resort. Thank you Manuel
