| Jan 1, 2011 at 23:29 | comment | added | Stefano Palazzo | I chose to make them tinyurls with preview so that the user doesn't have to visit a spam site, which is potentially malicious and to - hopefully - discourage this kind of behaviour by keeping the number of hits from AskUbuntu to a minimum. No idea if spammers actually pay any attention to the number of hits from different referrers though. | |
