URL posting question

[somasimple]

Hi All,

Why the site doesn't allow posting URL before a member reachs 15 posts or more?
I suppose that is discouraging spamers but how could I post a reference and its site link in that case?

This is to avoid spammers, yes. We have had rather serious problems with spammers in the past.

However, the actual post count needed is 10, not fifteen (I will check why the system claims 15).

So three more posts and you can post links without problems.

This has been fixed now - it will report that in order to stop spamming, 10 posts are required.

Hi,

It does not work. I have 11 posts and it is saying the same.

To avoid spamming of our boards, you need to reach a post count of 10 or more before you can post links.

[Tormod]

It takes up to 20 minutes from you reach 10 posts until you can actually post. This is because the system needs to promote you into a different user group.

Thanks but I think that time is relative on your board

The 11th post I made is dated at Re: Amazing Powers - 07-11-2006, 07:15 AM

Minutes are counted as days!

I tried again and it doesn't work.

But...the link above does work?

Feel free to make a couple of dummy posts here to reach 15 posts. Then let's see if that trips the fence. Maybe there is a bug somewhere.

I saw that but it works only with the forums links not "alien" ones.
