Trust level 2 has the ability to post links as well, doesn’t it? But to a limited number of sites.
I guess just expanding the list of trusted sites would do the trick.
I agree with the OP that keeping someone from posting any links for a super minor infraction, like quoting someone else swearing and then bleeping it, is pretty ridiculous. OTOH, if the infraction is posting a link to pirated software or a virus, then it’s entirely appropriate.
There is some automation as well but those temporary bans have to be upheld I believe. They are subject to review by a moderator. Not all of those hold up even though you are temporarily unable to post while it’s sorted.
And yes level 2 can post from Blizz’s trusted sites.
Well, I will remain on trust level 2 too. But frankly you don’t really need it cause you have still the ability to send link to the source. The system is stupid is stupid but I don’t think that they will change anything on it.
Oh that makes sense, I thought it would link me to my profile instead or something and you don’t have to actually search in the code for your trust level…
