Clickable URLs
« on: October 20, 2008, 12:24:47 am »
I notice that you can NEVER click a link when one is advertised, whether the server has a map pack download or a friend is sending you a link to somewhere.

I know just making the links clickable would be stupid and fuck up gameplay so I think holding Ctrl should enable this. So Ctrl + Left Click on a link = opens the link.

F12?

F12...

BUT:

What if the person is advertising a virus website or malware or anything related to corrupting your pc.

You should just ignore it if you don't trust the person, just like a pop-up.

And you wouldn't be able to disguise the link, it would just come out as the pure text...

Yah F12
It makes it easier... kinda like an ad on the net.  You click it, it's your fault.

BUT:

What if somebody sees something weird, gets all traumatised and sues MM or something stupid.  Like an 8 year old whiner, but still a possibility.  If this is implemented, try and have some exceptions?  I dunno

ok I have an idea:

When you click on the URL it should say something like this:

You are entering a website unknown and out of soldat, be asure that this may contain illegal, or other material that is not prohibited. Please enter at your own risk.

And if there are people advertising bad websites such as porn, viruses, software etc... Admins and Mods have the right to ban them for this issue.

That's a load of bullshit, lol. A disclaimer would be a good idea though, saves the error of it happening.

And this could work well with Copy Paste
