You have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links.

How can we earn points to be able to post links? is there a specific thread where we can gather likes? I am trying to create a portal edit disapproval discussion but it keeps saying me "you have to be around for a little while longer before you can post links" so does this mean i cannot create a discussion with links if i am not level 2 in the forum? Thank you

You have to collect likes and 'insightful' from other people, when you collect 50 points, you will be promoted to 2lvl and be able to post links and photos.
Try to post more comments and write your own new discussions.
You can post link by adding space between letters, for example h t t p instead of http.
Just leave the http(s):// off, people can copy/paste or select it, and their browser might shortcut them to opening it.
Same here!! Sad story.
Thankyou :)
The part I find most annoying is that I can’t quote someone in a thread at my level.
I really don't undarstand why that "feature" is needed.
In general, thresholds like that on foruns are used to prevent bots, spamming and things like that.
We have a forum for a game where you come here to post feedback, appeals, insights, and use your ingame account. This barrier prevents us from posting appeals and participating in discussions (as you can't quote, as it generates a "link" to the quoted comment).
But I believe that might change (and probably will), as the forum is in some kind of "beta".
Also, most people don't tag "Insightful" or "like" on posts, they just read it and carry on.
Just tried to quote smurfmasher and wasn't able to. That's a silly restriction.
It’s kinda hard trying to appeal portals if you can’t post a link to intel.
It's quite common for forums to stop you from posting links when you're new, although I don't recall others having the same restriction on quoting posts. What does seem to be different here is that you have to get quite a lot of "likes" before you can post links - my assumption is that Niantic should be able to adjust the numbers to make it easier to get to the required level.
If you need to post links to portals then you should be able to edit the link to stop the forum detecting the link by removing "https://" from the link
It's very annoying.
So annoying, i was trying to appeel a portal edit made for pogo players and I have to be "active" on the forums...
Use this format: 'xxx[dot]com'
I guess this thread evolves into a "post here to get likes" thread 🤔😁
As they always should.
I absolutely hate this feature. It kinda reminds me of the "Top Fans" feature on Facebook, it's forcing you to engage. Not even being able to quote a previous post is completely ridiculous.
It's because the quotes have some automatically generated links in them. That, stupidly enough, don't actually work properly.
Today i've become lvl 2, 16 likes and 4 insightfull ^^
So... I see agents here are lvl 2 with less than 50 points. It means that requirements for it changed to 20 points (i think). That's great!
Now it will be easier for agents to achieve this to be able to post links and photos for appeals.
