Mod help?

I am trying to post an intro post in this sub forum (not this thread) and I keep getting:

The following errors occurred with your submission:

1. You are only allowed to post URLs to other sites after you have made 15 posts or more.

But I do not have any URL's in my post, its only text.

Fail nevermind, please delete. For some reason the site kept thinking my at sign was something to do with posting a URL.

Beats the heck out of me. You can always use the rather inelegant make 5 more post and make it go away.

You can tell I'm typing fast today.

It was still weird to think that the at sign would qualify as a URL though. At least I figured it out, too bad I figured it out after I made this thread though. And with as much traffic as this site gets, anytime I sit down and click new posts I am sorting through 500+ posts.

It thinks you are trying to post an email covertly.

 

[ilk80]

I know but still, then it should be smart enough to tell me email and not URL.

 

[j0ker]

An email is a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). In other words, it's a address to locate you.

The filter is a set of rules. It's not an actual person.

Hey ilk. One more post and it won't be an issue.
So where you from?

 

[ilk80]

As odd as that sounds, I never though being as geeky as I am, that an email = URL, for some reason another ____ would be considered that - spooky the things you learn each day, but I am happy I asked. And yes I am thankful enough that I know its an auto deal, not a person (that person would be damn busy).
