I always forget and each time when I try to post a message I am dumbfounded that Eclipse forums don't allow me to post links. First I have to post 25 messages. This is so awkward.

Is this really necessary? This type of spam protection, I suppose that is what it is?

If it wasn't necessary, we wouldn't do it. But we've had many folks sign up, post SPAM links, then leave. We increased the posts to 5, and then we had 5 times as many posts to clean up.

At 25 posts, no more cleaning up. You can still post links, simply omit the http:// portion, or use hxxp:// instead. People will understand what you mean.

It is unfortunate, but it is what it is.
