What does "Content on the site you've linked to is invalid" mean on RubyFlow?
I’ve been trying to post here for days but I keep getting a ‘Content on the site you’ve linked to is invalid’ error. I can’t find any explanation as to why. Does it not like non w3c compliance? Advertisements? I’m trying to post a legit site! My kingdom for some feedback. [Ed: All is explained inside..]

Despite the CAPTCHA, RubyFlow was getting spammed in a nasty way a year or so ago, even by people who registered then typed the post in by hand (!) so we now have a system that wipes most of that out.
Basically, if you’re an unregistered user or an unapproved registered user (usually a registered user who hasn’t yet posted - anyone I haven’t yet approved) then the content of your linked item is analyzed to see if it’s actually about Ruby or Rails. If not, the post is not allowed. Even though this can cause some false positives, mostly it’s meant RubyFlow has been delightfully free of spam yet legit stuff can get on instantly (moderation SUCKS).
What were you trying to post? Leave it as a comment here and I’ll explain why it wasn’t getting through - or, even, I might find a bug ;-)
Thanks for the reply!
I was posting a link to a rails site I made. I’m new to rails, and web development in general, so I was looking for some feedback.
It’s not exactly ‘rails’ content, just a site built on rails. If you don’t allow that kind of stuff to be posted I understand. I second the moderation sucks line.
The site is www.babyphonedirectory.com. It’s brand new (hosted by OCS solutions), so there might be bugs!
If the content isn’t legit then I apologize. I would just suggest that you update the fash[:error] or model error to make it clearer what you are blocking.
Thanks again for the explanation!
Yeah, that site isn’t really suitable for a RubyFlow post. If you’d written some plugins, a tutorial, or something related to it and were primarily linking to that, with the site being an after mention, then sure. Stuff on RubyFlow is meant to be useful to Rubyists in general in a programming sense.

A solution is now in place. Due to the new forced https URLs, there were issues fetching the content (certificates, etc) so it wasn’t being checked properly. I’ve now resolved this issue.

Last Saturday we organized a Ruby meetup in Pune. The aim of this meetup was to work hands-on for WAIAble Accessibility Code-a-thon. What is WAIAble? Well it is a gem we are building to enable Accessibility for basic HTML rendered out of Rails. Some of you might say that Rails core is already taking care of that. But, we are a team of blind programmers and we are trying to just fill in the gaps with WAIAble gem. During the meetup, we tried to enable aria-required for mandatory fields of a model in a Rails application. We Published a Blog on what we did in terms of enabling aria-required in a model’s field. Would you like to have feedback from all Rubyists out there. Here’s the link. Click Here to see blog
