somasimple Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 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?

Tormod Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 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.

Tormod Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 This has been fixed now - it will report that in order to stop spamming, 10 posts are required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somasimple Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 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 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somasimple Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks but I think that time is relative on your board :confused: The 11th post I made is dated at Re: Amazing Powers - 07-11-2006, 07:15 AMhttp://hypography.com/forums/119212-post5.html Minutes are counted as days! :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tormod Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 But...the link above does work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormod Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somasimple Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 now it works but I have now more than 15 posts.Perhaps you changed the phrase but not the postcount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thats a cool feature I didnt know about (letting hypo links through, but not foreign ones) and SS links are permitted, within reason.. spam is still spam (even if your on 15 posts) and will be deleted.
