::::::::I'm not a stranger to wiki farms. Wikia, ShoutWiki, and the few now-discontinued wiki farms I've been to don't possess filters that deters new users from posting ''any'' external links. This is Meta, this is a discussion, and two users are sharing their experiences with the abuse filter and asking for support. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 19:16, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
:::::::::If I'm not mistaken the filter is designed to prevent the FIRST edit from containing any external links. All other edits should be fine. I see no issue. If something else is happening as a result of this filter, then it is malfunctioning.—[[User:C678|<span style="color:green;font-family:Neuropol">cyberpower]] [[User talk:C678|<sup style="color:red;font-family:arnprior">Chat]]<sub style="margin-left:-4.4ex;color:red;font-family:arnprior">Offline</sub> 19:22, 17 February 2015 (GMT)

Yet when I attempted to submit a link within my first edit, I didn't receive any warnings, notices, or any sign that there was a filter in place. It just keep showing me more CAPTCHA to fill out. I didn't realize that the Abuse Filter was the cause of the problem until I saw this page. A message that says something along the lines of "In order to deter spam, the first edit you submit may not include links. If you wish to submit links, please do so with your second edit," would be nice, although I would prefer that the filter be to removed entirely. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 19:34, 17 February 2015 (GMT)
