Tiny External Link Redirect Edit

Maybe have people writing up their scam reports use imgur and place all their photos in a single album

 

In theory it's a great idea, but people just won't do it.

I do think these image websites need to be unblocked, I can imagine the annoyance the extra click for each image would be.

 

I know right- why try and make things easier for the admin who is helping you

 

I remember people used to have sythe.org phishing sites as links to hack people's account, this will prevent that.

Good job!

 

Thanks Matthew. I think this should be closed now.

 

I completely disagree and fail to see your point for making such a change at all.

1. It's one-click either way.

2. The Yes, continue. is in the same place every time... just like the link. You make it sound as if you're chasing it around every time.

3. It somewhat defeats the purpose of having such a feature. If you have the user simply click the link again, if they aren't paying attention, they will most likely think for some reason it just didn't go through, so they have to click it again.

If you force them to actually click on Yes, continue., it at least brings more attention to their action and what they're doing when they actually click on it.

Small overall, perhaps, but there is absolutely no need to make the second change. If anything it detracts from the effectiveness of the feature.
