Link no longer clickable even for microsoft website?
I remembered the link was visible and clickable in the past. Is this a big change recently? Some of the helpful resources such as Microsoft learn community link are not clickable now. Two examples:

Thanks for posting, we were making some changes yesterday to ranks, roles and permissions to put us on a better and more sustainable footing for tackling spam. You do have the right permissions to post links but maybe you encountered this while the new roles and permissions were being applied?
Can you try again and let me know if its still an issue?

Can you try again and let me know if its still an issue?Thanks for the reply. It is really weird. At the time I published the post, the two links in the post were not clickable. But now, I can click the links.
Does this mean only the link made by the iron contributor or above will be clickable?
By the way, is the changes publicly available?

That is correct,
there are a range of permissions that we have scattered through the ranks designed to protect the community from malicious communications on the platform and so links that are clickable are only available once you reach Iron Contributor or above.
We don't share publicly what you get at what rank, that would just lead to spammers gaming the system and we also reserve the option to change it based on user feedback or observed risks posted in the community.
Hope this makes sene.
