Hello! 
With the feature of cleaning up links with the link BBcode and adding a new message instead of the messy ol' link, it's hard to know whether or not the actual link will take you off the RPR. While on Computer you can just mouse over it and it'll show the original link in the bottom left, on things like mobile, it isn't quite the same deal. Basically, what I'm proposing here is that before the link takes you to wherever it leads, if it is offsite a pop-up or something warns you. While I'm not sure how hard that is to implement, how exactly it would work, or if we even need to worry about potentially malicious or harmful sites with our beautiful community, we can't deny that some bad eggs can and may sneak in and stir up trouble. So, please consider adding a warning for offsite linkage, because I know plenty a site that randomly starts to download items as soon as it is visited.
