I would say it is linked to something bad.   If they made it where you can not post the link chances are there is a good reason.

Might go to meta if truly is a good site that somehow can not be posted.   But I have a feeling it will remain like this.

It's nothing bad just a webstore, i think it may be due to the temporary hosting address.

(TEST) google.com (http://google.com)

I think it has to do with the link your posting :) .  Test proves it works on good url.

You can't. New users are prohibited from posting links except to specific trusted sites.

Ignore notlist3d. Take note of the BIT-X advertisement in his signature. He is being paid to post replies, even on topics he knows nothing about. Advice from users with paid advertising signatures is often incorrect or misleading and should generally not be trusted.

it is because newbies are seen as a scammers by default, here on bitcointalk, because of all the previous scammer, for this reason there is a heavy restriction on url(they often post referral link and garbage like that) and on everything that concern them

I think you'll have to wait some weeks to increase your activity and be able to post that URL

Means only newbies can't post external links to other untrusted websites? I have often seen newbies/junior members posting links of malicious websites/software links but that wasn't  prohibited. I used to report those threads and they used to get deleted then.

It is automated and may not work all time.

The forum tries to detect phishing links and stuff and replaces them with that notice. The code that does this seems to be quite buggy though as I've seen it occasionally block out text that wasn't a link.

you might want to get that link checked out first Virus scanner (https://www.virustotal.com/)and that link is likely dangerous.

I have seen the same.   Especially spam with referrals, etc.   I know lower level members have been able to do it in some cases.

Maybe Foxpup can explain more to us how it can happen, without all the personal jabs.
