    Looks similar to this post - Typing wge t re-directs to... - vBulletin Community Forum

    But if I try typing in the 4 letters w g e t in a thread here, it crashes and returns an Apache error.

    I'd assume this needs correcting or it's potentially a backdoor/vulnerability?

    Even more strangely, when I try to edit my post above, it returns the same error even if I don't change anything, because those 4 letters appear in the post. I guess it doesn't trigger the error originally if it's a new post and the word is inside a tag.

    Here's the error.

    Method Not Implemented

    POST to /editpost.php not supported.
    Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at forum.team-mediaportal.com Port 80

    (and yet automerging works! - this sentence was addded as a quick reply and automerged)

    w get is blocked for security reasons and trying to use it from userside leads to the 'not supported' message.
    You added a link and the title-grabber added the title (including wge t) automatically to your post. This works fine as long as you dont try to edit that post...just an unhappy coincidence. ;)
