We've just had a senior member with some 300+ posts post a very misleading thread with the title "Just when you thought it was safe". And a link with no clue as to the content. The link lead to a potentially harmful website, which plays a video of Rick Ashley and hijacks the browser totally - making it dance around the screen.

This is a classic example of the etiquette described above being totally ignored.

This action could have harmed others computers and damages people's trust in the forum and its users. Additionally, it could flag up English Forum for attention in various corporate firewalls, since it was the referral page to potentially harmful content. I don't think anyone here wants their office to see EF in this way.

So please - be honest when linking and tell people what you expect them to click on, and warn them if there's anything (like not safe for work, etc)

Linking or trying to trick other members to visit sites with harmful and or dangerous content will incur the full wrath of the staff...
