The following text is unable to be posted. “Body is Unclear” error is thrown. Why?

```plaintext
コメント有難う御座います。
教えて頂いた内容大変参考になりました。
頂いた内容を元にもう少し調べてみようと思いますが、基本的には難しそうですね。
（出来たとしてもかなり汎用的でないものになりそうですし）
基本は製品がURIの入力をサポートするのを期待しようと思います。
色々回答頂き有難う御座いました。

```

Translation:

```plaintext
Thank you for comment.
The content that I taught was very helpful.
I think that I will investigate a little more based on the contents received, but basically it seems difficult.
(If it can, it seems to be something that is not quite universal)
Basically I will expect the product to support input of URI.
Thank you for various responses.

```

This would probably work if `SiteSetting.allow_uppercase_posts = true`

Guessing the issue here is `URI`

More explanation:

```plaintext
"基本は".mb_chars.downcase.to_s == "基本は".mb_chars.upcase.to_s

```

So for our `TextSentinel` class `基本は URI` is a full caps text and it fails the `seems_quiet?` check.

Seems like a good suggestion should be to have that particular check disabled if the post downcase = upcase then, right? Maybe not perfect, but it would catch all-character posts like the above.
