New users are not allowed to post links?

[alex_london]

I'm trying to post a new topic which includes a SABnzbd log excerpt inside a "code" block, and I'm getting the above message. There are no links in the log, just file paths.

As a "hack", please see the log in question at pastebin dot com / iztrar82.

New users are not allowed to post links?

Correct. To avoid spam.

What is your question?

What is your question?

Well, in this case, what is the link I posted that blocked what I was trying to ask in the first place? (I'll be creating a separate topic for the actual question)

As far as I can tell there are no URLs in the log file excerpt...

The detection isn't really optimal, but without it we get killed with spam every day no matter what captcha's we implement.
It has some false-positives..

[alex_london]

Understood, just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something stupid!

[safihre]

We should maybe try to see if we can avoid it detecting logs as links, this happens too often indeed.

Same problem here could you give me the permission to post "links" I do not have links in my posting

I did something to your account, and I got "Successfully removed the user’s newly registered status." ... so ... can you try again?
