I can confirm this issue. When editing the game page from studio, devforum links are moderated.
You can add them from the website, and it should work.

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:
EDIT: I looked into it a bit more and it seems the filter doesn’t like hyphens in links because this works:

but this does not:

I tried to share my portfolio on my Roblox profile once and it didn’t work, simple fix for this though!
Instead of this:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/open-experienced-clothing-designer/1379277/6
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.
Looks a little something like this:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/1379277/6
Still pretty frustrating, though. Roblox should look into this problem, still.

Roblox likely picks up the post title in the url as something that should be moderated and counts the whole link as moderated.
Just use - instead of the post title, for example:
https://devforum.roblox.com/t/-/1564262

No need for any slug at all, just use /t/123 syntax as the post above yours.

Just remove the dashes/hyphens from your devforum link, and it should work.
You can even remove the whole section where it has the name in the link.
This is an example of a DevForum link that will not get moderated:
https ://devforum.roblox.com/t/1565110
No dashes/hyphens in it.
i agree to this, remove the text in the link and it should not be moderated.
Thanks for the report! We’ll follow up when we have an update for you.

Just do this instead.

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.

Similar thing here. July 30 in JST was when I put this in game’s description.
This one is in Japanese.

Reproduction Steps
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.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to hearing the results of the investigation 
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.

Hey ya’ll, a year later but wanted to see if this is still happening for people? I believe this was fixed back then but we didn’t close out.
