 Description   

SPAM filter of the magnolia forum (https://forum.magnolia-cms.com) takes links made with the link icon as SPAM ...
Example

[url=https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com]Documentation[/url]

URLs are only allowed when pasting directly

Remove the link function from the editor menu or reconfigure the spam filter.

B.t.w.: The error message is "ugly" (general tomcat error 500 page); this would be fine in "real" SPAM attempts but is not nice in the current situation.

Currently, if the Spam filter (s.f.) denies the post for some reason, data is thrown away and user is confrontonted wit 500 eror page.

  • which is very appropriate against robots
  • not so friendly for honest forum users.

TODOs:
(I)
If s.f. denies, re-render create message form (for sure with previous text) plus "validation error message".

(II)
Try to figure out why the message mentioned on the description of this issue was denied by the SPAM filter (3rd party service),
and keep in mind that it is not only the posted text but also IP, email-adress, ... are sent to spam checker service.
