what does status code 500 mean?

First of all, I am sorry that I posted something 3x! When I saw that happened I tried to delete the duplicates but my only option was to edit (not delete).
That said, when I pressed submit I got a "status code 500" message and was informed that my post could not be published. I thus tried pressing submit again but got the same message, and more or less obviously I tried 3x before giving up…. and then I saw all 3 there. :/
I have noticed the past few weeks that people sometimes post the same thing multiple times, and now I guess I know why. Does anyone know what is causing this? And also, why was my question posted given that it literally said the post "could not be created"?
Attached is a screenshot, and sorry again for the multiple posts. If the forum gives this a 500 code too, I won't try posting it again…

Buggy forum software. They (Higher Logic Vanilla) are working on it.

This new way of posting kinda sucks and complicates things! I’ve been told I posted FOUR times and I didn’t even know it. I was getting a 500 error and it wouldn’t let me post until I removed the “tag” section of the post.

Hi everyone, thank you for clarifying this. I felt really bad when I posted 3x, so I am grateful to hear that they are aware of the issue. Thanks again.

We have reached a point where error codes should not appear on new posts.
