Issues Posting as a Newbie

[Karlore]

So I'm having a really diffuiclt time potsint as a new user - I've tried to post on a few threads and can't because it's telling me my post contains links (they don't) or banned keywords. I have scrubbed my posts trying to remove anything the could even remotely be considered a "banned keyword" but I'm still having issues posting.

You need 10 posts before you can add links.

banned keywords

That's new.

I honestly didn't knew the temp has this, which is strange considering how some of us call us names.

Anyway, @Karlore you need to rank from "Newbie" to "Member" to be able to post links and stuff.

Also, it'd be wise if you screenshot your post so Admins can look at exactly which words are preventing you from posting. A screenshot would be wiser since you won't be able to post containing such words, and I'm assuming typing the here will bring the same results.

Anti-spam has to search for phone numbers as "keywords" as well as words /phrases often used for spamming -- preferably such not likely to be used by new real users to prevent false positives.
Of course the actual filter list of words and/or regex must stay secret so the filter won't tell you what triggered detection. Spammers must not get hints how to get past filters.

Constant spam attacks on the site are a big problem. Countermeasures are needed, but blocking legitimate users is an unfortunate side-effect. The limitations should be removed after a few more posts from you

Good luck and have fun!

Unrelated to this special topic: I've noticed virtually anybody posting a problem in Site Discussions gets their thread downvoted. What's the point? Why are people downvoting simple questions or help requests?
With a bit of fantasy the voting feature might be usable on suggestions (though most suggestions get downvoted even more) but for questions and help requests it make no sense to click on ""

You need to improve your status.

Just one more post/s and you're good.
