Mixing POST and GET parameters is fine (there are some parameters that must be POST, like passwords, but you get a specific error message if there’s a problem with that). This sounds like a session problem - clients must be able to handle cookies the same way a browser does (accept cookies via Set-Cookie
headers).
Sorry, this is just Discourse’s default behavior with new user accounts to prevent spam. Just stick around a bit and it will be solved. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discourse/Help#Missing_a_feature_that_others_seem_to_have_(aka_user_trust_levels)
Even with the limitations you can share links like this: https://mediawiki.org
Never mind, now newcomers can post up to 5 links.
