I can't remember if there is another thread or discussion about this, point me if there is, I will lock this thread.
I am not sure if autoban working for malicious links. I just test on archival but it's not working for me. I don't know if it will take time or need to identify manually.
I have tested well known phishing link for Bitcointalk.
www.bitcointalk.to
(don't try this link. This is a phishing link.)It's seems autoban not working. I am able to post.
Check here on archived.I think there should a blacklist by admin, those link has detected phishing and malicious. And shouldn't allow for posting on forum or send PM. We noticed before scammers has sent Pm with phishing links. So if they are not able to post or send PM than it will be better option for prevent scammer and hacker.
During posting or preview time should not allow link those are already in blacklist on database. I mean server should deny automatically blacklisted links.
I think there is not yet implement. Otherwise how am I able to post well known phishing link?
I believe admin will consider a blacklist for autoban.
Edit ;
If any link include on the post from blacklist, than there should be a message like
"A malicious or phishing link included on your post. Please remove links and try gain."
