Reacting to joke links: A general guide.

[libertythor]

Any link on a forum that you are not sure of, open it in a separate browser.

If it is a Rick Roll, just click through and don't get desperate and close your browser.

If it is last measure (a nasty troll link from GNAA) .....that would deserve a ban. I got ip-banned from Huck's Army for that one. However, opening links from domains you don't recognize from a forum in a separate browser program will nip that in the bud. All you will have to do is force quit the program.

If you are using Windows, a decent anti-virus program would have blocked it.

Better yet: USE FIREFOX.



Most importantly: The link that Landon Cook pasted wasn't malicious. All you would have had to do is click OK 30 some odd times.
