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 wouldn't
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.

If you can't help new users post questions, then this forum isn't worth a**** !!!!! I will go to another site where the people aren't as useless and ***** as you are!!!!!

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'm trying to post a thread, but the anti-spam measurements won't let me.
It gives me the following error:

Even though my post does not contain any out-going messages.
Can a moderator help me out?
though i'm no mod:
have a look at signature not showing thread and you will know why you are currently not enabled to open threads
restriction will pass soon, so just a little patience and you are good
cheers
I read that this will be alloud after your 10th post... So, as DrakenKorin says...be patient
Hello,
I was just wondering if you could perhaps disable this:
"To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed."
for edits, because preventing new users from editing prior to waiting 5 minutes only prevents them from correcting errors, not from spamming. Or does it?
edit: Plus it encourages double posting instead of edditing supplements as it is now.
edit2: Wait, why was I able to edit this prior to waiting 5 minutes? Mabe just a missclick earlier on, please just go on and delete this topic. *blush
My profile is still new on this site, and therefore i must wait 5 minutes between posting threads / comments
however - if i spot a spelling error in my post, just after submitting it, i'm not allowed to edit the post until 5 minutes after !!!
couldn't this rule be deleted ? - not the rule of 5 minutes between posting, but the 5 minute rule of editing ?
Editing seems harmless compared to posting...

Unfortunately there were cases of spammers editing and adding links to get around the limitation, so we don't have much choice really as the spam would be overwhelming without it. I generally suggest a variation on the old saying, "read twice, post once"
It does end at 30 posts when you go from Junior Member to Member.

The 5 minute barrier isn't hard to live with - but i hope its gone soon...
but i fail to see why it would limit spammers...
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.
