Weblink in chat

[Gunspec]

Ok, here's a thought, if you know the message is from RMT, why would you open it? I mean you don't do that with your email do you?

Have you ever accidently sent RMT a /r message meant for someone else? Have you ever gone to click a character's name, or <pos> data, only to have RMT spam appear beneath your mouse? I know for certain, that at some point, I would probably open a spam weblink by accident, the way those messages pour across my chat feed.

I don't get spam email nearly often enough to accidentally click a letter from a Nigerian prince when I meant to click on an email from a friend.

Don't get me wrong, hyperlinks would be nice, and I've thought of the idea myself before. But the abuse of such a thing is so obvious and inevitable, there is no helping it. This is why we can't have nice things.
