Guys,

In case you haven't noticed, there is a set of criteria that must be met before URL's can be included in conversations on MUD (formerly PMs). One of these is having a "Likes" to "Posts" ratio greater than one. Although I have well over 1,000 posts, I only have one "like" so I had to get really creative to send someone info about how and where to pay club dues. I suggest that we start "liking" each other's posts in order to allow the free exchange of information that we enjoyed in the past. So even if you don't really like me, please hold your nose and "like" me anyways. I'll do the same for you.

Thanks,

Jon
 
I did not know that... I guess more people "like" me.
BTW, who is in for the CMCC shakedown run at Red Cloud? I know Jeff, Austin and myself will be there.
 
Unfortunately, it looks like I'm working. Just got reassigned to a start-up, so it's nights and weekends for a while.
 
...otherwise it would just be wiser to send a plain text "link" to then be copy paste or an email address in text response.

Plain text "link" doesn't work. Tried it various ways, Woody has fairly sophisticated algorithms for detecting a url. Spelling out the "dot org' part in a variety of ways gets caught.

Here is what I used that worked...."Woody's new "PM" conversation mechanism won't let me include the email address or a link to the membership page because my "Likes to Posts ratio" is too low (only one person likes me I guess). Let's see if I can fool Woody but not fool you.

Dues are $25 and can be paid via PayPal using the Treasurer email address at Capital Land Cruiser Club (without spaces) website. Remember, we are a dot organization."

Using "com" or "org" in any way other than as part of a complete word seems to get caught, as does anything with the "at sign" (ASCII code 64).
 
what about phonetic spelled?

or Ed will like this one

Liking every post is somewhat retarded. It would be better to create a special account with a doctored ratio.
Like username:"CLCC_Treasurer";"CLCC_Secretary"

However, if Woody is smart he would have already thought of this and included a special time duration needed in order to send links in an email. I'm sure it would not be too hard for Woody to create a list of users with special powers like moderators that can send links for special reasons. In fact. I wonder if moderators can send links through email.
