Remove All shortlink from the forum. - fsociety - 09-29-2020
As we know short-link real frustrate when it come to downloading.....i see whole combo-list section is full of short-link...i am too using but decided to stop it as we hardly don't make any money from it....
Kindly force user to post direct link..Action must be taken it high time to block all shortlink...

What links/file hosts are you specifically referring to?
Any form of short links/redirection entailing popups and the like, Is not permitted.

This is actually already against the rules (under the Respecting Others heading). The best thing to do it to just report the post for using a shortlink and staff will deal with it from there.

Mothered is correct. Also, please remember, every single time MyBB is updated, each additional plugin creates more work to do during these updates. Understandably, we rarely implement new plugins, and they can be circumvented even when we do have them.
I understand your concerns about the section, but I cannot stress this enough, please report them. I am happy to spend time going through the shortlinks.
