This is what the rejection HTTP messages look like:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2025 09:01:11 GMT
Content-Length: 192

This server did not accept the rageshake because it matches a rejection condition: app or user text rejected. See https://github.com/matrix-org/rageshake/blob/master/docs/blocked_rageshake.md

that text is not i18n friendly, really it should be using error codes so they can be translated by the app, not everyone can read technical English.
