Spoopy Link Warning

[Marek]

Okay so as we all know the internet can be a spoopy place, a lot of people like to post NSFW links and stuff, it does not happen very often here but we don't want people to accidentally open a picture of Crocodile genitals *cough* Croc while in front of their mom or something, lol. I suggest when somebody clicks a link, if it's in a thread or in chat, a little box will pop up " Are you sure you want to open this link "

It's just a small suggestion but I think it should be accepted.

Agreed, accidentally opened a [Censored] account shop in front of my parents. Was an interesting moment.

I can see it in your face

Give me the option to disable it and you have my support. Otherwise it's just annoying for those of us that don't have to hide what we do.

I think that it's your own fault you clicked on a fishy link if its out in the open eg. www.dickenlargers.net or something, I'm sure there is something that would search the link before hand if you really want to have something like this.

You can't see what it is if its a hyperlink though...

Not sure if you mean all links or just hyperlinks.

Normal links, no. If you see a link called www.crocodiledicks.com, it's your fault if you click it.
For hyperlinks, I agree. If you click on a hyperlink, it should be like: This redirects to: crocodiledicks.com. Do you want to continue?

NGL Just tried that link :rofl:

We already have rules against misrepresenting links, if someone is linking something and using deception to get you to click it, report it and it'll be dealt with. I don't know any other situation where it's necessary to warn someone before they leave the site, a bit of common sense should help with this.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
