I believe that all parsed links should open in a new tab whenever clicked.
I had one taken a WordPress course, and the tutor always stresses good Search Engine Optimisation. Having to go back to a forum from the site, one had view can get a little tedious.
Can we make it so that you can't post links until you've posted in / created more than 20 topics?
I think you’re thinking about stopping SPAM, which is good. 20 feels excessive though, for genuine users, but also isn’t fool proof. You could just write Hi! In the first 20 topics then post what you want.
I agree though that links need to be quarantined until they have been approved by MODS or something similar.
someone just did 2 spam topics
Please make sure that you mark spam topics as Abuse using the More link, which will flag them to the moderators. Do the same for individual messages. The more people who do this, the more help it is. Obviously though please make sure that the messages actually are spam, so that the moderators are not inundated with reports that they have to go through!
