I was actually bit by the abuse filter directly, as I was setting up a new page 
on Meta, using a newly created account:

1. Because the page included an external link, I needed to enter a CAPTCHA.
2. The AF then threw a warning that my changes appeared harmful, citing " new 
user youtube, &c"
3. I was then thrown back to the CAPTCHA, repeat endlessly. :) There was no way 
forward.

Thanks.
