::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)
:::No, but likely, given recent events here, were Stewards had to do some major cleanup after we got attacked with spambots multiple times. This filter spawned as a result of that attack, and while I have the power to shut it off, and while I do feel your sympathies, I won't switch it off without input from the stewards.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:\#FF8C00;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:\#FF8C00;font-family:arnprior">Limited Access</sub> 18:15, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
::::"Attack".? You're not at war with spambots, and since isn't a war, the collateral damage created by the filter shouldn't be tolerated. In addition, [[wikipedia:Parable_of_the_Tares|trying to weed out spambots will result in good users being harmed as well]]. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 18:26, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
