FCC Challenge tweet appears as spam by Twitter

[Chris2Brooks]

When completing a challenge the option is given to tweet about it. For the past week Twitter did not want to accept these Tweets because it looked like spam.

I verified this with @brianamarie as being an issue on Twitter's side and not user account.

Upon further testing, removing the website link from the tweet and keeping the @ FreeCodeCamp username and #learntocode #javascript hashtags, Twitter accepts the tweet.

Failed via FCC Tweet link:

Failed directly on Twitter:

Succesful - removing FCC link:

I tested this further and using Bit.ly to shorten the link, makes Twitter happy. It's definitely the link that's causing the problem.

Success - using Bit.ly (will probably work with other link shortners as well)

Thanks, I'll look into integrating with bitly's api automatically shorten the url

This is solved in commit 0674466f5fc4e1390a612c94599d9bce8d0d14cb. Thanks for the report!
