I’m not so much interested in the rule itself, but how to pull it off. Let’s say I want to post a picture and I’m not sure if it needs to follow the two click rule.
Assuming I want to err on the side of caution, how would I follow this rule? Specifically, how do I make it so that one has to click the link then click again after seeing some type of warning?
FTR, I would have searched for some answers if I could have.
If a two-click process is not possible, make sure you have an easily identifiable disclaimer warning in your post followed a broken link.
Here’s an example not to do (using a safe image):
“Oooo baby, check out this pussycat” —> http://www.catfacts.org/cat-mouth-full.jpg
In the above example, there was no warning and the link was direct. The better solution is to add in a warning and break the link. Like this:
“Oooo baby, check out this pussycat” (NSFW Warning) —> http:/ /www.catfacts.org/cat-mouth-full.jpg
Notice the warning message and the broken link?
Also, before you post, look at the Additional Options area on the page before you post. Under Miscellaneous Options uncheck the box marked, Automatically parse links in text.
Do this for any NSFW link, images, web pages or whatever. And always, always, always, preview such a post before hitting the submit button.
We generally accept this method. But there is a downside to it. Duckster posts an unparsed link: http://www.patrobertson.com/

and I quote it:
It turns into a live link. A good trick is to bold a portion of the link:
bolded first letter ------> http://www.patrobertson.com/

So [this](http:/ /media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/JacYodac/NastyChildren.png) would be okay because the link is broken? (SFW, but a little gross and possibly politically abrasive.)
Same pic, but maybe a better way of breaking the link? media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/JacYodac/NastyChildren.png
What happened to GFactors reply?
I deleted it.

Killing it once wasn’t enough? 
Yes. Those are both acceptable.
It was spreading.
The new [noparse][noparse][/noparse] code can be used.

Cool. Thanks.
Let’s see, does that work for quoting?
