The Minecraft Forum runs an automated system that automatically identifies whether or not a post is spam, once a post is identified as spam it is hidden from public view, it can only be seen by the member responsible for the post and forum staff. Sometimes the system will have false positives, a post that is not spam will be marked as spam, this usually happens to new members with a very low post count.
Minecraft Forum moderators are able to mark a post as not spam, which will help train the system to better identify what is and what is not spam. All posts marked as spam are regularly manually reviewed to identify false positives however it's possible your post may be missed, therefore you can request a manual review of a specific post at any time.
If your post has been marked as spam and you would like to report it as a false positive, please perform the following steps:
1. Visit the post that has been marked as Spam, it will have a red background
2. At the bottom of the post click the "Report" button, this will open up the Report dialog
3. Select "My Post Is Not Spam" from the Reason drop down
4. Click the "Submit" button
After you have submitted your report a moderator will manually review your post and mark it as not spam, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, if your post has not been marked as Not Spam within 24 hours you may send citricsquid a Private Message asking for a status update, likewise you may send a Private Message if you have any questions.
Please do not try and post something again if it is still marked as spam, this will reinforce the system's belief that your post is spam, reposting the same content multiple times will not bypass the spam filter.

Poof. It's now unpinned.

Youtube does that by JS stuff and cookies I believes, it's "dynamically" loading the data
The way MCF works is that once the post is "made", it just updates the HTML directly, there is no real-time "feed" for it to know there was actually a change.

They have made rule changes so you should be able to post them now.

Same for you, can you start with clearing cookies? I will pass this on to the sysadmins to review as well.

A change has been made to try to fix this. Please let me know if you continue to see it.

You will need to contact support to have names changed and accounts deleted.
You will need to explain to them what name you want your account to have. If you want the old date joined, they will simply move the name to this account, and delete the new account.

Hi,
So I had one of our sys admins look, and they confirmed that it's not on our side at least, and that it's with Cloudflare and your browser.
The browser you are using is triggering an "under attack" rule and then is failing the JS challenge.
I am looking at how can send the message to support, but Cloudflare just really recommends their community support.
Googling hasn't achieved me much:
https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=22098 it's slightly older and I doubt it's the full reason though, but worth a shot.
https://community.cloudflare.com/ is the CF community support. Otherwise, their support is pretty weak. How fun.

Hi,
Is this still happening?
We have not made any deployments of recent, so if it worked before, it should still be working from our side. This seems like a Cloudflare issue, it may be worth raising a ticket up with them about it.
Thanks,
Ralex

I have unmarked your post as spam. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This isn't as simple as you think. It's not a bot.
The "Link Removed" system is quite simply just a "filter" on top of posts. All it can do is alter post contents, such as making links clickable if you don't use the "Url" button, embedding images, and such. It doesn't have the ability to delete posts. It also means that the system applies retro-actively, so if we add a new link, it will just "naturally" hide those links from any posts, because it's done at render time.
