Without going into any personal opinions on the matter, we kindly ask everyone who comes across a post with a keylogger in it, NOT to quote the entire thing.

Look at it this way:
Keylogger is reported, we remove keylogger, just as we leave the thread to move on to other reports, someone out there is busy quoting the keylogger and clicks "post".

You see how this virus will perpetuate itself?

In short and simple: Don't quote a keylogger; report it, quote the post without the url if you have to, but DO.NOT.QUOTE.THE.URL.

Thank you for your attention.

All is fair in mushrooms and war!

Yeah. That, or, invest in decent forum software that adequately protects your customers. Cheapskates.

"Post on your main" equals "I'm too stupid to counter your actual argument".

How can you implement software to filter out what can be random links?

Seriously I'm quite curious about this, do you make the forum query the site before you allow it to be posted, or perhaps just block all but a few known sites?

Interesting question, how could you get software to block sites like that? Perhaps some special critera or a list?

What do you suggest they do? The best they can do is put "you are leaving blizzards site, we are not responsible for any WTFPWN viruses what you receive from dis der website you is goin' to" when you click on a link (which I think they do anyway). The kind of people who click on keylogger links already know that they're going to a different site.

There is nothing more Blizzard can do, stop acting as if "Blizzard can make the whole word great but they don't because they're mean".

On some forums I visit, posting an offensive link gets you banned. However, if someone quoted your post, they got their account suspended for a certain number of days, for posting the offending link also.

Something to enforce here?

And what happen if everybody does it, you wont have anybody left. No topic anymore to moderate, you'll get fired lol ! Let's fight everybody, they can't ban everybody for using that exploit ! I just sacrified myself, let's do it all !

Wow.... What a nice demonstration of what not to do if one wishes to keep the privilege of being able to post on these forums.

z0mg, stop blues from quoting Rickroll url's too then... You are the divine inspiration of these forums so no-lifers such as me cannot help clicking any links contained in your posts :(
