Why do I receive "We are experiencing some problems, please try again." constantly on questions asked by anonymous "blue face" users?

    Because you have been blocked by that user. Poor programming on the party of the old YA programmers was in allowing a text box to show up at all when a user who has you blocked, and is using Anon, posts a question. There should be no text box for an answer available at all, just as there isn't one if the user who blocked you doesn't use Anon.

    When a user has you blocked and ask a question anonymously you will see an answer box. Usually, if they asked the question with their user name you would not see the answer box and know you were blocked. After you try to submit your answer you will get that error message. It really a pain having to write a lot and find out you were blocked.

    Anonymous users are more likely to post questions that will get flagged for removal. If enough people flag while you are typing your answer, by the time you hit submit, the question will have been removed. If you were to open that question link in a new window, you would see the notice that it was removed.

    They have blocked you is the usual reason.

    It could be because someone has reported the question as being in violation of Community Guidelines, and they are being investigated.
