I suggest that users below the Junior Member rank should not be allowed to post links on the forum.
This could help prevent similar threads where experienced users might not be misled, but those new to crypto or Bitcoin could be at risk.

You can report these posts.

You are not a first forum member who wanted to tighten newbie jails, but there will be no more newbie jails. Theymos said it years ago, and you can see some policy changes on newbies.

I somewhat agree, but what about it being a string of text and not clickable if the user who posted is below Junior Rank.
That way, we will have user post the link but others will have to copy and paste it, making it secure for everyone.

There are many ways to fight against this issue, I was just making a point which can be further discussed. Cheesy

I do not think it is necessary also. If you see anything suspicious, immediately you can post under the topic to notify people. If it is more like scam in a way the user wants to scam people obviously, just give the user red trust and report it to moderator. Scam is not moderated but there are obvious scam attempt that moderators will delete after you have reported it.

If the link is copied and pasted, I do not think it has much difference because anyone that is foolish for scam will still be foolish, copy and paste the link to proceed.

Actually there are lots of request to do the same like what you said but still nothing was done.
Let me quote this reply of @dzungmobile from the same topic/issue raise for newbie accounts posting links just few months ago.

No more newbie jail so if you see something bad from newbie posters, report it.

Read theymos' vision on newbies. They are welcome here and there are spaces for them to enjoy. They can be given time and chance to correct mistakes but if they don't change, ban hammer will drop on their accounts.

Limiting newbie participation is very harmful for a community. Newbie jail will never return: I consider the newbie-jail period to have been extremely damaging to the forum. When barriers to participation are too high, then the best people often just won't go to the trouble of joining, and the people who are willing to jump through the hoops are often people who aren't good for the community: people with nothing better to do, scammers, get-rick-quickers, etc. Having a permanent newbie jail policy would improve things a lot in the short-term, but would end up being a fatal poison to the community.

It would have not been good if I found out that I can not post link. Anyone may want to make reference and some people will just post link for good reasons. Because a knife can kill someone, should it be the reason it should not be allowed for daily use in the Kitchen?

I remember when I registered and started to post on this forum, I created topic frequently and I always added some links below the topic because I copied one or two things from the sites and I referenced them. It would have not been good if I found out that I can not post link. Anyone may want to make reference and some people will just post link for good reasons.

Hi members,

I saw this post from the user and this is his first post on the forum. And he's basically advertising without disclosure a Bitcoin Lottery, which is more likely to be a scam.

I suggest that users below the Junior Member rank should not be allowed to post links on the forum.

Let me know what you think. I'm sure the mod team or @theymos will take this into consideration. Wink
