Noticing the spam problem that forums are having lately with users hiding links in their first posts, I wonder if it would be useful to create a mod that changes the nature of links, so that the site admin could monitor outgoing links.
I guess it wouldn't be incredibly useful, as you probably wouldn't notice them untill Googlebot indexed them anyway, but it might be cool to change the way phpbb creates links. Instead of just creating the link directly, maybe it could link to something like http://forums.cricketmx.com/outgoing.ph ... r.web/site
Then, outgoing.php could be something as simple as (a working version of):
Code: Select all
echo _POST[link] (I'll pretty this up in a bit. I've got a nice piece of example code for it that I can't find :)
Code: Select all
<?php header("Location: $_GET[link]");
exit;
?>
(Now that I think about it, I bet somebody else has already done this)
