Hello,

I don’t understand why my previous posts are hidden ?  
[https://discourse.hibernate.org/t/naturalid-hibernate-always-hit-the-db/](https://discourse.hibernate.org/t/naturalid-hibernate-always-hit-the-db/)  
and  
[https://discourse.hibernate.org/t/java-17-version-and-nanoseconds-truncation](https://discourse.hibernate.org/t/java-17-version-and-nanoseconds-truncation)

There were discussions with @beikov and my post has been hidden (“Post hidden by community flags”).  
I would like today to post an additional information on the first one after the release of the 6.1.4Final, but it’s not possible any more.

Do they offense the guidelines ?  
What should I change ?

Regards,  
Philippe

Hey there. It seems that Discourse has some anti-spam rules which require moderators to review whether posts are real spam or not. This is the message I am seeing:

> This new user tried to create multiple posts with links to the same domain. All posts from this user that include links should be reviewed. See the [newuser\_spam\_host\_threshold](https://discourse.hibernate.org/admin/site_settings/category/spam) site setting.

I’ll look through your posts and approve them

Thanks, the status changes.

When I try to post a link to the repo (gitlab) where I put the code, I receive an error:

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/hibernate/original/2X/7/74c79c34cb7309cf8dce3109d2260677b37e5514.png)

Is it forbidden to have a link to gitlab ?

I put spaces in the middle of my url (that broke the link) and it works ☹

Well, this is a kind of spam protection. As you can imagine, bots constantly try to post links to some website to boost their SEO ranking.
