Just a short note: I've noticed that an increasing number of people are using anonymizer URLs or CGI proxies when postings news items. Depending on the time of the day, my current work load, and how much time I have to do moderation tasks (currently not a lot), such items are very likely to be removed, rather than edited. A lot of these links just flat out don't work for anyone other than the person submitting the news item, and as such the quick fix is to just delete the entire item, rather than wait for the end of the day to be able to edit, and in the meanwhile have hundreds of people click on a link that doesn't work...

MOTD 24/3/2004 : Comment 6 of 17 | ANN.lu |
Posted by T_Bone on 25-Mar-2004 00:53 GMT | In reply to Comment 5 (Wayne Dresing, PhD.): You're missing the point. CK is talking about links that are posted, that when you click on them, take you to a proxy that tries to anonymise the link. He's not complaining about people posting through a proxy, just the links that they post that carry the proxy redirect inadvertantly in the link itself. These don't always work for people who are already browsing through a proxy, or are behind a firewall that blocks that proxy. |
