    Disallow pseudo linking Sythe urls

    Kids are being dumb and falling for pseudo Sythe links. You should find a way to have the censorship function recognize when a URL="link" tag is used with a Sythe.org URL and either censor it, or automatically remove the bbcode.

    So if it says
    PHP:
    [url="www.fakesythe.org"]www.sythe.org[/url]
    Then it's just replaced with
    PHP:
    [url]www.sythe.org[/url]
    An maybe a message saying "this user has attempted to hyperlink a Sythe.org URL"

    I can't see why this wouldn't be beneficial.

    Safety is top priority for me. Support.

    Frankly, I'm surprised this hasn't already been addressed, phishing was (and obviously still is [see pulse]) a huge problem way back when before jagex implemented all their anti-phishing measures.

    Yeah. Frankly, I think this should be extended to any links that have text beginning with "http://": if they don't have matching destination URL, then the hyperlink part should be removed and only the text should remain.

    Example:
    PHP:
    [url=http://www.fakesite.com/]http://www.legitsite.com/[/url]
    to
    PHP:
    http://www.legitsite.com/

    Not sure how this would be done, whether there's a vbul plugin already or whether it would have to be custom coded, but I'll definitely try and get Matt's and Richard's attention directed towards this page and see if either of them could get something going. Definitely a good suggestion.

    Good suggestion. I can probably do a regex on the link text to see if it matches a hyperlink. I'll have a go at putting it in tomorrow.

    Let's find out:

    Noparse version:

    [URL="http://sythe.org"]http://runescape.com[/URL]
    [URL="http://sythe.org"]runescape.com[/URL]
    [URL="http://sythe.org"]www.runescape.com[/URL]
    [URL="http://sythe.org"]go to runescape.com[/URL]
    [URL="http://sythe.org"] runescape.com[/URL]
    [URL="http://sythe.org"]runescape blah blah[/URL]


    Parse version:
    http://runescape.com
    runescape.com
    www.runescape.com
    go to runescape.com
    runescape.com
    runescape blah blah

    Seems to work fine. See if you can find any ways to trip it up.

    Well played, Monsieur Richardeau


    EDIT: curious if it's just for sythe links or for any link
    myspace.com

    anythingwith.com


    Good, it only replaces it if both are actual correctly-formatted URLs

    I also like that you can still see the tag as it was written when you quote/edit the messages. Good foresight in preserving phishing attempt evidence

    For reference you would never use a parser for this sort of task. A one-line regular expression works fine and is easy to update/modify for edge cases. I'll pm you the code since you're interested.

    Think it might have messed with images hyperlinked with urls, take a look at my signature.
