Thanks for this tracker @Martin-O2, however one has been omitted.
*The post flooding error message when attempting to post emoji's whilst on PC. Not affecting posts made on mobile.
Re the security box missing? Firefox is my default browser but I have tried on Chrome and Edge and it's still missing. Windows PC.

No they are different @gmarkj. I have had post flooding when taking part in Word Hunt Diamond. No emoji's involved. (when it happens, I change from capitals to lower case with the same word, then it will post!)

One thing to note, in the WHD, the Post Flooding error there usually means someone has just given the same word as the one you are trying to post - put in a different word (or lowercase the same one, as @Cleoriff says) and the post is allowed.
That is probably the only legitimate time you will see a Post Flooding warning, and it is genuine.
The whole thing about post flooding when smileys or emojis are concerned on PC really is an issue with how the forum is saving the post, probably as it tries to figure out if there is a forum emoji or a mobile one or a copy-paste one.
Just my 0.2¢-worth.

In fact I would say post flooding on certain pages occurs far less often than the emoji issue
I think someone indicated with PC's it was linked to Windows? I use my Windows PC on the forum all the time.
I haven't been able to post a forum emoji for a month.
Also If I capture someone's post as a reply and they have used an emoji in their post, I have to remove it, otherwise I get the post flooding message when I try to post.
