Why can't I link to the source when I'm commenting in discussions?

When I quote an article on the internet, I'd like to provide the source as a link. When I provide the link in comments, it fails trying to submit the comment. Why is this?

I don't know if I correctly understand your question. If you mean adding, in a movie/t.v./person/support discussion thread a link to an article, you should have no difficulty doing that if copying and pasting the article's url into the body of your post. Copy and paste the entire https:// line.

We do have a spam detection system though. I don't really know how it works since I never tried to post spam, but it could be what's preventing you from posting the source.
Are you having issues with a specific website or many different ones? Do you see an error message?

I was in the Bird Box section and answering to a question. I tried to put a link there as source and it gave me a "red box" error. When I removed the link, I could submit the comment. However, I'm able to put the same link over here in this comment. This is strange.

Maybe just a temporary glitch, then.

I even tried google.com i got the same "red box" error. the error doesn't specify anything. just says something went wrong. when i remove all links, the comment get's submitted. Is it because I'm a new user? Also, I'm able to add links to comments in this discussion. Copy-Pasting content from the internet with no attribution is just plagiarism because the site feels the need to restrict links.

Haha, it happens. I'm glad we were able to "solve" the issue without Travis. I'm closing this discussion.
