We need bans for false links. Today on this site I got hit with two lemonparty.org's a -blam!- ass brain eating website, a porno website :) and a spyware loaded site. I hate it!

What I do is, I put my cursor over the link and it shows the web address at the bottom of IE.

EDIT: Bans are issued for link to pr0n.

Well, you could just get IE. Unless you have a Mac. Then, I hear Safari is a good choice. And don't trust people. Not on bnet anyways.

IE = Work of the devil. Examine this graphic for an example.
EDIT: Well i did have a bargepole not touching graphic there, but it doesnt like spaces, and i cant be bothered to do it properly, so toss it. Just i wouldnt touch IE with a bargepole ever. Firefox FTW.

what's a bargepole?

I like IE. I don't like Firefox all that much. It's not bad, I just like IE better.

I can proudly say that my brain is intact and my soul still has not been devoured but that has not stopped people trying to link me to kevan.org its grown tiresome and i dislike anyboby that posts false links. I've never been linked to -blam!- but i have been caught out a couple of times.

If people are spamming brain links or click to increase my army stuff, promptly tell a Moderator and we will take care of it. As for -blam!-, spam, spyware and viruses please be sure to report it to a Moderator as SOON as you find it so we can remove the user and prevent them from screwing over other people. We aim to remove offenders like this but we also highly recommend that you user anti-spywear protection and anti-virus protection on your computer, a firewall doesn’t hurt either. But remember, if we don’t know about it, we can’t stop it!

A bargepole is a very long pole that you use to push a barge. Try googling it.

I have spyware but I clicked on some kids link and 16 diffrent spys came up on my blocker then I deleted them, if I didn't have a blocker I would have had to reformat my harddrive.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

... or download adaware. A lot easier then reformatting your drive :)

I have Spybot as well as adaware. I find that Spybot keeps the spyware from getting on to my computer, but once it does get on, adaware searches for it much more thuroughly. More often then not, adaware will show up with 10 instances of spyware while spybot will only show up with 5.

I'm too lazy. And I prefer Yahoo actually. Also, I like the term 39 1/2 foot pole better. Thats from the Grinch.

What's kevan.org? I've seen links to it, but never been there. I've never clicked a link to -blam!-, but in a group of mine someone made a link to -blam!-.com. They got banned from the group.

The best thing to do is do not click them. Second best is look at the URL in the bottom portion of your window on your browser.

Turn up your security settings on your browser. I never get spyware.

That will help, but it's best to get a full-on firewall. Folks with Windows XP SP2 have one built-in already, so long as it's enabled. Other people can purchase or download ones for their systems; Zone Alarm has one available as a free download, for instance. (I use a purchased one, myself. Pardon me if I don't go into too many details...)

-- Steve will remind folks to PM or email us moderators if they come across spyware/malware/naughty links, so that we can scrub 'em out ASAP.

I thought I was the only one that didn't know. I felt like an idiot. But maybe I'm not if an older member doesn't know.

Also, can we report it if someone posts a link to -blam!- in our groups and get them banned from bnet?
