    Hmm, maybe just a random glitch?

    There's an uncommon bug that causes Cloudflare errors when submitting a thread. As a workaround, you can copy and paste your application, submit a mostly empty post in the moderator board, and then paste your full application as a reply. I can clean it up from there.

    I've had issues with specific formatting from copy-pasting out of google docs giving issues with posts before.

    Things that work:
    - Copy-paste it into a notepad (removes any formatting), remove all the weird characters outside the numbers and the normal alphabet, copy it from the notepad into the post.
    - Make a near empty post, and right away hit edit, paste, and apply.
    - suggested from above: make the text in the reply to your own opening post.

    The "sanity" checker of Xenforo forums in combination with/or Cloudflare doesn't like some characters or codes etc.

    It happens with me when I use certain BBCode in conjunction with some phrases that seem to trigger it, remove all bold/italic/underlined stuff and submit, then quickly go and edit it back in (so basically do what SilentReaper said).
