Mods,

When I mention a web address in a post, I always make sure to separate the parts (domain, suffix, path) with spaces, and spell out the dots as "dot", eliminate the slashes, etc., so it won't render as a hotlink. But then, when I see my post a day or two later, every time a mod has edited it, saying "no hotlinks". I can't figure this out! What am I doing wrong?
