Subject: Here's an idea on how to stop shock site posters

This is a modified idea from the Off-topic.

There has been alot of shock links, here is an idea on how to stop it:

After witnessing a shock link, post inb4JohnCena or inb4<username> on other threads that has 0 replies or does not have a shock link post. This tells the users on that thread that John Cena or whatever might post a link to a shock site. This also lets the attacker knows that users are aware of his links and will lose the game he is playing.

This might not stop him, but it will help reduce it.

That's not how it works.

Spammers don't read threads. They just post their stuff, move to the next one, rinse, repeat.

This is the most ridiculously under thought, ludicrous, insanely unhelpful, unhelpful to any cause, unnecessary, inappropriate, ineffective, illogical, crazy, mad, loony, and pants-on-head-retarded thing I have ever had the displeasure to read.

I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

inb4something usually just tells me the user saying that likes the internet too much.

I don't really know how else to explain that when I see someone say inb4something I just ignore it/block it out/disregard whatever they just said.

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.
Bungie's new game: Particle

That'd be trying to fix the problem with spam. Not practical and not useful.

I always thought it would be a good idea to wait for someone to open the link and tell everyone if it's safe or not.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Exactly, if someone has gone to the effort to change the original website domain into a shortened bit.ly obviously it is spam.
