New Audiogon URL restrictions are too much


I recently attempted to post a URL to Wikipedia article related to networking and was notified I was blocked.  I think the current restrictions on embedded URLs in messages are a little too much.

@cleeds Yes, it blocks and erased the entire message.  It was a mundane message talking about network speeds, buffers, caches... etc. For kicks, would you try replying with a link to a Wikipedia article?

If I try to reply to this thread wiht a post from Wikipedia about Transmission Control Protocol I get;

Sorry, you have been blocked

You are unable to access audiogon.com

Why have I been blocked?

This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

@erik_squires I found that thread and inserted your link, which was an excellent suggestion. For whatever reason, I wasn't blocked. Most odd.

Perhaps one work around is to describe the search formulation you use, the author, name of site, date (if content is dated) and within the bounds of fair use, quote some relevant portion if you are engaged in critical commentary.
