(Nevermind XP) Mindistortion/Trading Suggestion

Mindistortion/Steal Your Soul
I hate that website. I think it's very inappropriate for a kids site. Coppa members can still browse the forums and some of them may click on the 'trick links' of them. Personally, the picture still scares me and I'm a little more than a month away from being able to drive. Sure ussually the links are obvious but some people (Like me) still manage to accidentally click them. Plus some people make them look like normal links. One person I saw had a picture of a Very Rare rat and above it it said 'The Rat Wants To Show You Something" so I clicked it and it took me to the site.

I just wanted to suggest linking to this site against the rules. It seems wrong to try to trick people into going to this site.
And don't say 'Well it's just a joke'. It's just plain mean. It's no different than putting that picture in your siggie in my opinion.

Plus I once was showing my younger cousin the site and accidentally clicked a trick link (And plus my computer loads really fast). She's in 2nd grade and it scared her. I almost got grounded for scaring the living daylights out of her.

Trading Suggestion
I accidentally traded a hoard pet away since I have so many in trades while using the new wishlist search function. That's not the problem but I was just annoyed I traded a pet from a locked group by accident.

I think if you're trading a pet from a locked group you should get a warning that says "Warning: This pet is in a locked group. Are you sure you want to trade it?" Same for Wishlist only/Friends only trades. Except it would say "Warning: This pet is in a friends/wishlist only trades. Are you sure you want to trade it?" It would only pop up if you were trading a wishlist only group pet for a non wishlist pet or a friends only group pet to a non friend-ed member.

This might not seem like a lot but what if someone had a true date and re-release? Some people value true dates over re-releases. They may have meant to trade the re-release but accidentally traded the true date.

I said inappropriate for a kids site (The picture when you click it. I know if it scares me it has to scare other people) and the fact that people trick others by hiding the links in stuff saying "Free Pets" or "Want a 2008 Pet?" or "Click this". And some people make them look like normal links by making it say something normal or replace there pet links so instead of going to that person's pet it goes to that site. >.< I haven't seen the picture in a while though since if I do accidentally click a link I put my hand over the picture.

Edit: I'm going to try to block that site... Now to figure out how to do that. X_X
Edit Edit: Can't. o-o I'm an admin on my Mac so I can't block the site for myself.

We can't block every little thing on the internet to make some people feel safer.

As a general rule of thumb online, you should never click on a link that isn't part of a site that you know and understand if safe--like this one. You never know what you'll accidentally click on but we keep it clear of porn and junk like that because it certainly isn't appropriate for children.

Everyone is going to have a different view on what is scary and what isn't, just as people thinking something is funny. If that site bothers you, block it if you can. If you can't, ask your parents to do it so you are protected from it on your computer.

Thanks Lady. Guess I'll try to find a way to block it. XP
Edit: Found a firefox app that let me block it :3
