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.

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.

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'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
Hi there!
I can't quote other posts since a few days.
If I use the qick reply, I get to the advanced mode, showing the error
The following errors occurred with your submission:
This forum requires that you wait 20 seconds between posts. Please try again in 5 seconds.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I try to quote in advanced mode, the site is loading for 2 minutes and then I get a white page, without any error.
This happens as soon and only if I quote any other post. Without quoting everything works.
Whats wrong there?
Is it just me?
I think its better if you ask this here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
As you need to ask admins.. but I think @bitpushr handles this.. and he will check this thread as I mentioned..
From next time if you get such site related problems.. you can ask in that thread.

Hm... When posting the above one, I've seen the error that I have to wait 5 seconds and the post wasn't saved. But it WAS SAVED. Very Strange...

It must be some database issues.. well that's what was said in admin thread.. just wait a day.. before that they will get back to you or it will be fixed I guess.

Hey, sorry for the off topic of sorts. It is to do with quoting though...
I've seen lots of posts where people quote something but their quoted area doesn't have the "Quote:" text preceding it. Can someone tell me how they do that?

If you mean about people having quote for some text without actually quoting anyone and with no "Originally posted by username"
Then its called "indent" tags.. you need to replace quote text and put indent in tags to get that..
Like [indent ] [/indent ]
Without spaces..
Or check this threads 10th post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974338
And click on bbcode there.. to get examples on various options on how to use them..

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.
