Blacklist/Disallow Phishing sites

I just thought of this as this site has been having these users post messages with misleading content to a phishing site that looks similar to a runescape login/forums.

Is it possible to have a Disallow/Blacklist page of sites which can't be posted on here?

For example, lets say there is a domain called
services.runescape.login.com


With common knowledge (or at least I hope), the .login is never .runescape or before .com on the RS Server.

So if we created a blacklist, and added this to the list of blacklisted sites
***.login.com

Then whenever someone will create a post with '.login.com' in their post, their post will not be created, and instead trigger/automatically report/highlight it to a Moderator is on online.

The Moderator from there can make the decision to ban/take action on the user.


So is this possible? And what do you think?

Phishing sites can use many different URLs, the only similarity is that they all include "runescape" in the URL.

Don't click links from banned users. And if you find such a post just report it, usually it will be taken care off pretty fast.

I don't think it is necessary to create a system for that.

Yeah, but newer users don't necessary know not to click the links. Tbh, I think SSRL should be allowed to remove spam threads (since they're already allowed to ban spammers iirc)

But SSRL doesn't have mod panel. We can't delete or edit other peoples post. Only the staff can do that, to keep things organized. We don't have mod cp.

Every phishing site uses a different URL anyway.

The most common ones end up being like the one I posted, or with something ending with tk
