I have only been a member here for a short time; however, I have found this site to be a very useful resource. As such, I have researched further into a particular topic and have written a blog post pertaining to my discoveries. However, I don't seem to be permitted to include "outside links" in my post. How long am I considered to be a 'new member' and how am I 'verified'?
If you continue to use the site and post properly, you will be "verified." This process happens automatically once you reach a certain number of posts. We had to put this restriction in place recently because we were being inundated with spam.
hmmm
I understand.
can u pls tell me how many number of posts to be made for the verification process.
Welcome to forums
The magic number is 8
But more important than that number is that you make good use of your account

Hello,
I had some problems submitting my first post to this forum. I always got this error message:
1.To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.
... and wondered what went wrong. I had no outside links in my posting and decided to wait for some time, maybe it was a temporary problem with the forum. After then I tried to post my message again. Same error.
After some brain work I noticed my mistake:
in my nickname I have a (at). Maybe the rule set for the e-mail-filter is a bit restrictive, so it wrongly validates every (at) in the posting.
Should be only taken as an advice to maybe adjust the filtering or at least the error message a bit.
best regards

Maybe trying to find clever ways to put sh*t as your user name, wasn't as clever as you thought ?
Hello, I have a problem in my first Thread. I would send a new ROM for the raphael, but it gives me this error "To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed."
how can I do?
thanks for all answers.

I would do what the warning/restriction says and contact a moderator.

There's nothing we can do. The restriction is on posting links and images. It automatically lifts after the member posts enough times.
It was added to prevent spam bots and it has worked wonders.

So...... it was a lie? False advertising I say, even if the product is the ability to post links.

Contact us by all means, but we will tell you we can't help .
I have asked if this can be re-worded at some point in the future.

You will be dearly missed. New members are allowed to post questions...just not links without mod approval. Have fun at your new site.
I'm having the same issue. I get the following message, which is different from the one above:
"To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!"
But I do not have any links in my message.
What are the characters the forum SW parses as links?

Images also count as part of the check, or anything starting http:// (IIRC).
If you are still having problems, try uploading the BB Code to pastebin (or similar).

I believe it can also detect links as being strings separated by at least one dot, with a slash "/" present...
But I think Dave might be right about the http part. Try a basic post, removing anything other than plain text, then add the suspected parts in via edit, and see what it is rejecting.
I think I found the issue. I didn't have any "http", slashes, or images.
I was trying to post the handset info from my HTC Hero, which contains all manner of random characters, including the hash sign. I'm thinking it was that which was marked as spam.
Three posts down, 5 to go before I can start making sense.
Thanks for the assist.
I need to post a image its very important but i gotta be reviewed by a moderator
can my account be moderated/reviewed by a moderator.
When i try to post it always says ERROR SPAM LINKS NOT ALLOWED YOU GOTTA BE REVIEWED BY A MODERATOR
Thanks

Sorry for double post But just to let you know im not a spam bot.I wont post piracy
Thanks

Welcome to forums
You need to arrive to certain number of posts so all XDA features can be unlocked.
Keep posting and you´ll get soon.
I was posting a solution to fix annoying wi-fi issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 with images but the forum is not allowing me to post ? I plan to contribute a full series of problem fixes with this particular device. Can any mod allow images only (no links to other sites) for my account ?

Hello,
I'm a new member. I read all of your rules, I watched your 'You are a noob' video, I read some of your stickies, then I decided to post my first message carefully trying not to break any rule.
I wrote my first message but your vBulletin refused to post it because of an error in my submission:
To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!

That's quite a great welcoming!
My message contained no outside links, no images and no smileys. So it seems that your regex is buggy and is not able to tell the difference between a legitimate message and a message containing outside links. Kinda noob!
Is it possible to fix this problem? If you need help, you can contact me (even if I am a noob! ) and I'll fix it for you.
Thank you
Can you place your post on PasteBin and let me know which forum you were trying to post it in and I'll take a look.
The Regex will be from a 3rd Party plugin - as are most of the extras on this site .
Dave
Don't worry, my message had an at sign that was mistakenly interpreted as an 'outside link'. I changed it with (at) and I posted it.
I was asking to fix this problem just to avoid some frustration to other noobs like me
Thank you anyway
We'll look into this and get this fixed in the next few days. Thanks for letting us know!
I'm happy to report this error has been corrected

I just got the same error message while attempting to include the Quote ("Quote message in reply") - worked fine without that option.
(including quote to see if it is reconstructable)
Edit:
the post in question was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20333009&postcount=425
I recently received this error message while attempting to update a post with a logcat attachment that I had meant to attach to the post originally but forgot to.

Now I know I'm not a terribly active poster, but I would hardly qualify myself as new, since I joined back in Aug. 2010. How can I go about verifying my account to avoid this in the future? Also, is this the appropriate forum, or should it go under Q&A instead.
Thank you for your assistance.
There is a lot of replies that covered your question. You need to have 30 posts to have these restriction lifted. We can't do anything about that.
