Links that damage your PC should be banned

[Alexander's Horse]

Mark/Dan on the OT, there is currently a thread titled "cool web site". If you click on the link Djugashvili has posted, it crashes your computer and says it is dumping your memory I don't know if this is true or not but such links should be banned.

If anyone posts a link that damages Apolyton user PC's, severe measures should be taken against the perp. This is the second recent occasion that this has happened on the OT.

Thanks. Thought I should bring it to your attention.

I believe that I started that thread. The link I posted, however, is harmless. I don't know about Djugashvili's link, though.

it didnt crash my computer, but it was porn, therefore edited out

Heh - It is actually possible to make a link that will crash a windows box if they click on it

With a sense of the ironic ...

Hey Thue, well this is the ideal place for one

If it was porn maybe a filter dumped me out but I think the general point still holds true - people who post links that are damaging should be harshly dealt with.
