I kind of like this idea, though if people want to abuse the system with misleading links or similar stuff, they’ll always achieve this somehow.

I get you’re specifically asking for a feature, but preventing trust level 0 users from posting links could suffice for most cases. Reaching TL1 is fast if you’re a legit user, but spammers never will. So I’m just mentioning the` Post links allowed groups` setting in case it would help people who come by on this topic.

This is frustrating, but as a TL0 I bellieve you can just post another message with the 2nd picture.
