Prevent URL posting
 

Hi

I've just started running a new forum which has taken off really well. :D

I've just noticed another similar site has launched! :mad: I want to prevent users from posting linkage to this new site..

ie "hey have you seen www.rival-site.com"

I'd like it to give them an error or change the link to something else automatically. Is there a hack or a way of doing this?

Thanks

use the censer feature maybe ?

Sounds a good way to start a site war ......

Replacement variables will do what you want.

Or: Link Anonymizer and Censor

Hmm there is a problem with this.

their domain is say "food.com" and my domain is say "goodfood.com" so everytime someone posts and quotes my site it does this "good********" which is no good.

Yes, I agree, which is not what I want but I'm concerned this site will do well, althouhg the site is newer their domain has sat on google for ages so it gets a higher ranking which means ppl will most likely find the new site 1st. :mad:

I'll take a look at this, all im trying to do is reduce any linkage this new site may get.

Is this potentially a bad thing to do?

Thanks
