Disable URL parsing in Chat Box?

[eLight]

It's a pretty simple question. Disable it, or leave it be.

Upside: Less spam.
Downside: Links aren't clickable.

Workarounds such as "Only allow this URL:" well, if you can code up such a modification I am happy to check it out!

Vote away.

Instead of allow this URL you can ask coders to do the "deny this URL"

well allowing only KWWHunction links and imghosts link

such as (LulzImg - ScreenSnapr etc..) which are getting used to much in KWWH will be good

and disable other links which are other than KWWH!

only KWWH links should be alive and filehosts also ?

no idea but idea is good and i feel bad lol

well i personally think its a good idea. The amount of spam that happens in the cb on a daily basis is to much sometimes. However allowing certain urls may be a not bad idea.

What is funny though,everyone this morning was complaining on the amount of spam happening in the cb,then when a solution is reached most just turned the drama to that instead. There is not pleasing the trolls it seems

We already have filters.. allowing KWWH links and lulz img, screensnapr and google shud be fine..

[immu]

yup File hosts
and seen many guys asking for Bumping topics of W-bb
so need to censor the links

but all image host allowed

[TLK]

No please. We can manage the spam, there's not many people who post random links anyway.

we need clickable links of atleast some sites like some image hosting sites so that we can share screenshots & all. This is the only thing we do in SB I votes "No Leave it"

[sasacal]

No, Leave it be
