Re-Direct Notices

[PeggyBlackett]

I notice that i'm seeing "Re-Direct Notice" when i click some - but not all - downlaod links.

Is there a reason that some sites have been tagged this way and others not?

Just curious.

Unless there's some Sinister Plot, that is.

In which case, forget i asked.

Yes there is some Sinister Plot going on.

If you are talking about the Mega links, it's explained on the page that you have to click on.

The creator of that thread opened it to whine about the situation, but there are at least a few decent responses from moderators explaining the situation.

Yeah, right.

You're leaving F95zone

We endeavor to ensure all files are clean, however please also take care and scan everything you download

Explains nothing - particularly my actual question as to why MEGA and {i think} WorkUpload have notices and others don't.

And if you mean

Support {whichever dev}
Please support creators whose content you like, to ensure their work continues
Without regular support from patrons, many creators would no longer be able to create the content that you enjoy

that's not an explanation of anything, either

Please note that my post - as it sounds as if you realised - was simply a request to know why some sites had the notice and some didn't.

I'll check the thread you linked.

Grazie.

This is the line I was referring to:

Ya know, if you'd actually read what i wrote, you wouldn't have needed to expend such a large percentage of your limited supply of sarcastic snark.

I'm afraid it'll take you at least a week to recover.

 

[PeggyBlackett]

This is the line I was referring to:

Thanks for the response.

BUT

That line is invisible.

Once i realised there was something there, i had to copy it and post it into EditPad Lite to even be sure it was text, much less read it.

If you're going to include information like that, you need to make it obvious and readable.

But - though i can now make a guess - that still doesn't explain why it's only some sites that are tagged, which was my actual question.

I did read it and if you had read this

and the bottom line
This link has been masked to help prevent automated bots from crawling the site, indexing links, and issuing automated takedowns. Click the above button to continue to the file host.

You would not have needed to start this thread.

 

[PeggyBlackett]

Apparently you didn't bother to read the post directly above yours, you'd have noticed that i poi9nted out something about that line, after it was called to my attention.

By someone a lot less dismissive than yourself.

It's FLIPPIN' INVISIBLE

If the bottom line was VISIBLE then starting this thread would be unnecessary.

What part of "If you can't see it you can't read it" is too difficult for you?

 

[おい！]

If the bottom line was VISIBLE, which it isn't {unless you know it's there}, even in your screenshot.

Well I had no problems reading it. All some has to do is copy and paste the bottom line, even an idiot should be able to do that.

IF YOU KNOW THE BLOODY THING IS THERE!

ESDDAD.

=============

Hmmm. Blocked profile?

Afraid of something?

They just haven't gotten around to it, all links should be protected in the future, and maybe even add a re-captcha to further protect the links from being taken down by bots.

 

[PeggyBlackett]

Yes my profile is blocked from idiots, do you have a problem with that?

Afraid some of your family might find you?

The line is visible, how do you think I saw it?
If you cannot see it, then I suggest you get your eyesight checked.

Oh, yeah. Absolutely visible - if you know it's there.

And it's still unreadable on the screen

======================

Bye-eee!

...and maybe a 2FA requiring you to enter a code from a text to your phone?
