I referenced countless numbers of times when I was a newbie, nothing like that happened to me. If it is antispam, I ought to have seen it too, but I do not often post many links, maybe the reason.

I never heard if suspicious link removed is only for newbie rank members only, thanks for the information. I'm not really remember exactly, but does it's possible links from higher ranks got removed? because not all high rank members do share legit source, since it can be a bought account and got negative feedback.

Another thing if he's using hyperlink, does this forum can still remove the link?

It doesn't happen on all links, I don't know the list of links acceptable from Newbies. I'm pretty sure OP could link for instance google.com.

It's mostly targeted at newbies afaik but will also impact those with poor reputation and some other users (depending on how unknown the link is to the forum and probably if it's phishing too - like using specific characters).

I've seen it for higher ranked users before but it's mostly for newbies posting lesser seen/unique links.

Yes, it's just a

Links will be whitelisted after a while so they're not considered suspicious to the automated software under certain criteria or may be spotted based off other criteria (perhaps ranking highly in search engines). I don't know if the criteria is known as there's a chance mods could train an automated part of it by filing reports and it is done automatically afaik.

This one is new to me,  I never knew the forum had such a feature in place, probably because I didn't post alot of links when I was a newbie,  can't even remember posting links at all  .

All I remember was that login in to the forum was hell when my account was pretty new,  I had to always type in/pass a captcha verification, in other words,  anti-bot verification before I could login to the forum,  i don't know if that feature is still in place right now, it was one I hated with passion  .
