Remove the moderators review after posting a question with hyperlinks

Hello,

I have noticed that any question with hyperlinks posted on the community goes to the moderators for review now. I think this slows the process of answering questions as the questions are reviewed by moderators in another timezone and would take a day to publish and another day to get answered.

My idea would be remove the moderators review.

Thanks

Yes, quite frustrating when you want to post an answer with a hyperlink to another forum post, FME documentation, or FME Hub.

Why not let us flag Spam posts and then hide the post from the forum till a moderator reviews the post. This worked pretty well in the past.

And please do not hide posts with url’s that go to safe.com or esri.com managed sites. I would like to be able to point people to the right documentation.

Today I tried to answer a question, including a link to FME Hub, but the post is held for review. 

Maybe this has to do with the recent changes to FME Hub?

I recently had a post be blocked because of a link to Spotify. I could be able to accept that. Glad it got allowed after a day.

But a link to the Hub should bypass the moderation. Users should flag it if needed.

Could post history be part of the audit? Can imagine bots creating accounts 1 year in advance, posting 4 AI fake questions and then spamming, but I haven't seen them yet. Most are 1 hour old accounts posting first with a link to a shady site. That would be easy to spot.
