BVG I am wondering if it wouldn't be better that you do not allow the posting of off site links?
This is a serious suggestion and nothing more...
We all know clicking on a link can be dangerous at times and most places have this disabled for that very reason...
Even Zynga discouraged them and people got in trouble if they posted off site links...well until we were nearing the end over there...
My personal gamer site allows links but we have all been gaming for over 20 years together, if someone new enters I disable it for them...
I am not alone in this thinking and I am sure that if you asked the older members of the forum they would have an opinion and voice it...not saying anyone is shady in particular but I for one will not click on any link until I know it's safe...
Someone must be at least level 10 and have played for 2 weeks to post here. If they post a bad link we will ban them here and in-game, including any accounts they've ever touched.
