No, we develop all the mod_security rules here on this box before they go up on gotroot, or into ASL. So things like that will happen. We've been focusing on rate-limiting/ddos a lot lately, which is why you'll get 503 errors if you try to open up too many links on either site too fast. I was working on sending you to custom "youve been rate limited" error pages when you got that page.

It was very strange..
I was trying to post in anti-spam, and do a preview of my post when I started getting not acceptable, then I'd go back and try again and got not authorized. So I thought you were having issues, so I'd close browser and try the site again in a few minutes, I'd got to the home page first and I'd get the test page for RedHat.

Every once in a while I'd get the front page to come up or the forums. I wasn't even sure I'd have been able to post this message when I did. So, don't know if those were expected or not.

That would explain why I just got one. Wierd though because I only opened the one thread, pushed Quote, and I got the 503 in the window where the original message goes.

I do run Fasterfox but I have it set to "Courteous" (rendering only, no extra server connections).
