The thread OP's comment was: > This seems simple to fix - deactivate all links that didn’t become part of a published comment. Currently, a major convenience for the malware spreader is being able to put malware on the server and get a usable URL back without submitting the comment. Deactivating links for unsubmitted comments that were canceled is orthogonal to identifying malware, and wouldn't make the comment readers more vulnerable than they already are.
