Reproduction Steps
Currently, as of 11/25/21, links to the developer forums are moderated. This makes it impossible to provide links to changelogs, attributions, and more in a game’s description. It makes the point of the bulletin board somewhat moot.
How to reproduce:
Edit a game’s description in studio & attempt to add a link to a post on the bulletin board, here on the devforums.
Observe that the settings failed to save, due to the description being moderated:
Actually, this is not true. Simply trying to change a description to only a link to a bulletin devforum post will get you this on the website. This has been happening for at least a week now:
Remove the URL slug (section that contains the title of your post) and then it should work fine. The link is still fully functional since the post ID is still included in the link.
I think they should remove the devforum link tagging from both safechat and 13+ filters. Makes no sense for there to be a filter on an official roblox link.
Doesn’t matter on what browser you are on, if you to and edit any game’s description and you add any roblox devforum post link (example Minerblocks Update Log)
It won’t let you save the link into the game description saying a error message “Inappropriate game title or description”. This will not let any developers to add their update logs using an roblox devforum post link into their game’s description.
Expected Behavior
If there was nothing wrong with it like how it was for years now, it wouldn’t tell you “Inappropriate game description or title” and it would just save the roblox devforum links into the description just like it supposed to.
Actual Behavior
Roblox description and title moderation bot doesn’t let you to have any links into your game’s description, but this caused the problem of developers not being able to add their devforum posts about their games and projects for the community to read and learn into their game’s description.
Workaround
Ideally, how this should be fixed is that roblox should whitelist all roblox devforum links allowing the developers to add again their posts about their games into their game description.

Sounds great, this is really annoying especially for developers that have created an update log on a devforum post and they want to add it into their game’s description.
I would like to add that this is happening to my group. When I try to add a DevForum post to my group’s description I get an error. When I do not include the link, it saves without error.
