Please allow us time to edit our posts without restricting us

I typed Qb6 when I meant to type Qc6 and give a video link to a reply. When I went to edit, this site stripped the quote formatting and removed the links to the video as well as the chess diagram. I am sure it was automatic, but I think you should give us 3 tries at least to make sure it wasn't a legit edit.

That's not what happened. If you actually took the time to see what happened you would see. Go to the Analysis section. You will see a chess diagram does exist.

What happened was I posted again, a second chess diagram. Then I deleted the post to correct the text. Then, I went to paste it back in the correct way, and that is how it got filtered. You will see the top diagram is NOT filtered.

The restriction you are referring to is simply the number of games you have to play before you can post links and images. I have already passed that limit.

Or you can read posts at face value without pre-judging.

Well, it was very automatic. So, I don't think a human moderating edited the post. I triggered something to automatically filter the post. I wouldn't call that an error if that was the intended result executed by the computer. If a user tries to use a premium feature with a free account, is that also an error?

I am just asking to give us time to edit our post. Any small change from letters a-h and numbers 1-8 which correspond to the ranks and files isn't going to be spam. Yet, it appears it is being filtered (most likely because a computer, not a human, stepped in) as such.

If you want to get real technical and say it was the programmers on this server, I still say it wasn't an error to restrict. I just think it is an unnecessary measure when the address never changed, and the chess diagram never changed in respect to annotation. In fact, there was no annotation or moves. Just the FEN. No need to filter chess. Filtering spam ads and gummy bear stuff I understand.
