paint,net is a picture editor, but the real website is getpaint.net. paint,net is a shady website with two suspicious-looking JavaScripts and one ad analytics tracking script.
Unfortunately, when people talk about the application, they always add the dot. Many people always click the link, and the JS looks very suspicious.
So whenever someone posts or replies something, have it get approved before posting, maybe even automatically removing the link or replacing it with getpaint.net.
(Note that Discord links are filtered, so filtering links isn’t out of the question)
I don’t get anything? Nonetheless I wouldn’t really mind.
In the meantime to make paint.net point to the actual website do [paint.net](https://getpaint.net)
(the link is safe)
That is likely just a typo, seems silly to me to add a bunch of intentionally typoed links that are people might take advantage of. Just DM the OP about it, or flag it if the user had malicious intention.
You didn’t understand, perhaps I should have clarified. Adding a bunch of typoed websites is a huge waste of time because there could be so many of them, and again if the user didn’t mean it just DM them, otherwise just flag. And why would someone refer to gmail.com on the developer forum?
I’m all for the protection of users but this would cause unnecessary problems when users are trying to mention the application.
It would be far better if the hyperlink would be aimed at the actual website automatically (like @sjr04’s temporary solution). Perhaps this could be done with a plugin?
Actually paint.net was actually an online paint store to purchase paint from, they could have gone out of business. But if we add getpaint.net then I think we should add adobe.com to the list, since you can do video editing, and photoshopping and use it for making clothing, and what not. Sure it costs, but it’s just as useful as getpaint.net.
