I am not usually the one to say something a forum but I have a concern that I think should be posted here. From the time I joined, and up to now, I have clicked links from all types of sites, but the sites I am really concerned about being linked are the ones containing "Chan". Why am I so concerned? Because again and again, the "Goatse" internet shock has put itself into those links and instead of clicking something meant for humor or cuteness, we are clicking something that is vulgar and disgusting that the linker cannot seem to see. For they are instead seeing what was meant to be linked. I once linked something from a Chan about a year ago and the same thing happened to me.I then started to tell others not to link from Chan sites because of this same predicament, but it was not an official rule so I guess my advice could not be heeded. So in conclusion, to secure the Safe For Work state of our chat, I think that Chan links should not be allowed to be linked in Main Chat. What do you think about all of this?

- I thought inappropriate content fell under the "don't link NSFW material" rule. http://i.imgur.com/1tsWYY6.png Filly Please 19:25, March 22, 2014 (UTC)
- It does but not all Chan stuff is innapropriate. The shock link appears in links randomly. http://i.imgur.com/FAHqYUz.png Spitfire Talk http://i.imgur.com/xzAIGzM.png
- If we have to take precautions, then I guess this is a decent choice. http://i.imgur.com/1tsWYY6.png Filly Please 19:44, March 22, 2014 (UTC)

- Support Per Pucho. SublimePie (talk) 19:17, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
- Support Since the links contain inappropriate (shock) content I support.
- Support More often then not, Chan links are highly inappropriate and are usually bait-and-switch or redirects to NSFW material. I see no reason why this shouldn't have been cut earlier.
