There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm not a fan of a bunch of these ignores, because they'll hide if the links ever actually end up as 404s, but I'll approve

I don't know of any alternative, otherwise the markdown-link-check will be permanently red, and then nobody will look at it if there is an additional failing URL. See also tcort/markdown-link-check#109 as an open issue describing the problem. |

Links in CONTRIBUTING > Discussion Areas are now causing 403 Forbidden errors when running
check:markdown-links:ERROR: 2 dead links found!
[✖] https://openjs-foundation.slack.com/archives/C0ALS3UDE8G → Status: 403
[✖] https://openjs-foundation.slack.com/archives/C019MGJQ8RH → Status: 403
These links can however be accessed in Google Chrome in an incognito window, so it appears that Slack has increased security against automated checks.
