Can't name a section called "Yeti"

Disabling modsecurity and rebooting (to be sure), it's still showing as off after a reboot... but I still can't name something yeti or use the word. I will log a call with the host but this one has me...

Strangely I have never hit this error until today. I'm trying to prune 14,000 users and selecting more than 999 at a time seems to give the invalid action message.

I could handle doing them...

Thanks guys, that gives me some options.

The second question still remains, why bother queueing at all?...

Update:

Something didn't quite sit right that the notifications I was getting were sent at exactly 10 minute increments. A little more digging seems to show that the problem was caused by...

To add to that, I have just received a couple of "New Post" notifications... problem is they are over 48 hours late yet are show as only just being sent (and received by me a couple of minutes...
