All attempts to do network-wide searches via stackexchange.com (example) are returning the "Oops! Something Bad Happened!" page:

stackexchange.com error page

This is a problem, as this is the only way that Charcoal project members and moderators can search the whole network for usage of potential spam domains, terms, etc. outside of one specific site.

    @AugustoVasques Clearly, they hurt all the other test animals they were gonna use for the photo shoots, because only the panda is featured.

    Yep. We get a lot of spam, some of it pornographic or otherwise illegal by the standards of various international laws. Keeping the place above reproach for the users of various ages and cultures is highly valued. @MartinJames
