Yes, I AM just that awesome.

Wouldn't a way to help stop the spamming of shock sites be to just -blam!- the URLs? I think -blam!- is. And why not just -blam!- tinyURLs so that people can't use those either?

There's so many URL shorteners that that's not even feasible.

Pretty much.... If something comes up, just report it and PM a mod that's online.

It would be very difficult to make it effective, at all. Just report and bam your good to go. unfortunetly, a websites intent is very hard to detect and very easy to hide.

It would have to be a form database system. Where all the shock site urls are listed, having it check any post with a url in it would make the post take a very long time to be processed.

I have an idea, don't click on a shortened URL. We're not using Twitter, we don't have a limited amount of characters to type, so I think It's pretty obvious a link is no good if someone shortens it.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Always look at the link before you click.

Familiar = Click
Not familiar = Don't click

It's simple!

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I'm all for some tools to help stop that stuff, but you guys need to be responsible for your own actions. It's the internet. Do not leap before you look.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

A redirect page would be a nice addition, along with a white-list for trusted sites.

Whilst we're at it, we should make preceding a question with "question" a bannable offence.

:p

BRILLIANT!
Instead of having a list of bad websites, we have a list of confirmed trustable website!

Question.

Why is it every time I encounter someone who announces a question before asking it, I then hear the question being asked in Dwight Shrute's voice?

I'm not sure why you would think that, because databases are extremely fast.

You really think something like that could work? There's a new URL shortener popping up every day. It's like if we tried to censor links from hardcore [people filming being filmed having sex] sites. There's such an innumerable amount that it's just not possible.

Of course the latter example is a vast hyperbole of the former, but the same principles apply.
