I registered yesterday because i did some testing and i want to post a something to update a wiki page, and i write the whole post with some links references and when i finished, it pop outs the message i can only post two links.
I put like 6 or 7 links, all linking this site wiki, forum and bug tracker. How can i do this? How many posts or time need to pass to be able to put more links? I read the forum guidelines and i didn't see anything about this.
@thess I just noticed that it is a major PITA for a forum admin to correct those worked-around links.
I do not really see the need for being so restrictive. If the links were spammy URLs, IMO it doesn't make a big difference if it would be 2 or 7 of them, they would be spotted and removed quickly anyways.
Since this is not the first time that users run into this, and since it's kind of a pain for both, users and admins, I'd like to ask if we really need this restriction or if we can either raise the limit or deactivate this restriction completely.
Since the min trust level to post links is currently TL0 (new-user) this setting is the only control we have. We could limit links to TL1 and above. It would force a new user to spend some time in forum before posting a long dissertation such as this.
That said, I have no object raising this limit to 6 or 8 (or more) but some limit should be imposed and not just setting it to 0 (unlimited).
