      As pointed out in the ACM Insurance Release Forms thread…anybody can join this forum and then they can post links leaving users susceptible to viruses and vulnerable to opening porn sites at work.    I was under the impression that this forum was going to eliminate spam and phishers.   

      I personally don't open links from unknown sources.

      Eliminate…that's a good one.

      When I find a way to eliminate douchebaggery, I'll let you stand in line to buy it from me with everyone else.

        Well put, Brock.  If we make signups any more restrictive, we'll have to require administrative approval before anybody can sign up or post.  I don't think that we want to make it that restrictive.  So the person who posted that link took the time to register as a human (not a bot), activate their account by responding to a link via an email, and then post a response, just to include a link in it.  I also don't think we want to remove the ability for users to enter links in their posts completely.  That would be dull.

        So, 1 post in ~640 posts so far. Let's keep track of the issue in this thread.
