There is a limit on the number of links per post here, because multiple links are a characteristic of some forms of spamming. I don't know what it is just now, but toning things down a bit would help.

WCG uses different forum code, so the anti-spam measures there would be different, too.

Thanks for your reply and help, Richard.
I adapted my post by reducing the number of links.

The URL limit is 4 for now. With regards to spamners, I'd rather not change that. There's at least no limit in amounts of posts you can make subsequently in a thread.
