Retrieving urls blocked

Hi, is there any way for the mods to retrieve urls blocked by forum rules and post those themselves?

That is a good idea, but most people that have posted a worthwhile (non-spam) url
will find a way around this: by posting again or PM'ing someone.

I agree though, it can be a bit of a PITA when the url's are blocked.
However, I see why it is done though and can see the justification for doing so.

That would be an excellent idea. In the anti-virus forum first time users regularily post Hijackthis logs and with the url blocked it can be hard to know if you've really gotten rid of all the malware.

I like the idea, but also I am not the one coding it. hehe.

We know, that's why it was suggested

if it's blocking the url, why not just hamfist the url with a regex
s/http:\/\//dontthinkso:\/\//
s/./,/g;

then if a mod feels the need to readjust, at least the url will be 'sort of' ready

does a url still get blocked when it just sits there as text instead of an active link ? because if it doesn't then you can look up the url yourself if you want to

We are happy with the way it works now - spam has really decreased substantially. We still get some idiot spammers but we are noticing less.
