Forum:NB: Can't make edits; says I'm adding external links when I'm not

Assuming this post goes through, my problem is that I'm a new user and not allowed to make external links yet, but even when I don't, I get the message: "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please contact an administrator, and inform them of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: New user adding external link"

I don't want to keep trying to push edits through if it's going to mark me as a spammer.
