::I "just did" because I'm not a new user anymore. The same can't be said by others with complaints. What happened to "everyone is innocent until proven guilty"? There shouldn't be filters built on the idea that every new users whose initial edits include external links must be a spambot. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 18:12, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
