That wasn’t condescending though, it was accurate information. Blizzard doesn’t own Discourse and has pretty much no say in how their systems work.
You can still post links they just need to be in code blocks so it goes through. Users can’t click on the links, but they can copy and paste.
Edit: You want the “code line” section. That will show you how to post a link without being trust level 3.
