Will links ever come back?

I know there is a huge troll problem here but links were so damn helpful. Especially for someone like me who uses a phone 90% of the time.

  • Probably, but Telltale's Info Tech/Security dept has their work cut out for them.
  • The mods mentioned the links will be back once they get improved moderation tools.

    The HTML links and markup text formatting was also disabled along with posting pictures to prevent trolls from finding a workaround to post those pictures or links to them (and because it was a convenient fix to make everything plain text, since it was decided something had to be done immediately before the upgrade was released since the trolls were becoming worse and more frequent).

    Once the forum is upgraded so that we can finally handle these trolls quickly, all of these functions will be restored. Believe me, this is the best solution until the upgrade comes. No one wants to see, or be linked to, that garbage. I regret having to see it in the dozen or so attacks that I had to clean up before these drastic measures were taken.

    I'm not sure of an exact time frame, but I know that giving moderators the ability to properly take care of trolls is the number one priority of the web team, and when that's implemented the missing features will be restored. Hopefully it won't be too long.
  • Thank you for the response. :)

  • This is extremely disappointing.

    It seems like this forum is going in the wrong direction and not improving.

    How about scrapping this software and going with something much better?
