I wasn't aware this could occur, but I just clicked on a masked link to someone's guide from their signature and I noticed the url at the top of my page "xxxxxxx_subscribe". It clicked in my head VERY quickly that they had deliberately linked the "subscribe" link and not their normal link.
That's kinda annoying, and I "unfavourited" immediately, but I'm wondering if this kind of thing can be prevented.
Sneaky sneaky people making MobaFire unfun.
I realise the favourite button really doesn't do anything but put it on your profile, but I don't favourite guides often so it annoyed me :/ Maybe I'm stupid.

haha, I just felt like a prank had been pulled on me, is all. It's probably not a serious issue, but I didn't enjoy being punk'd :P

I don't want people doing garbage like this on the site. I will implement something to block it shortly, and anyone caught trying to pull stunts like this is at risk of a ban.

Alright this doesn't work any more. The links do nothing if you didn't actually click the original, proper link. If you spot any other situations where users are able to do something like this please let me know!

Awesome fast reaction Matt :) I know it wasn't completely important, but it's pretty impressive to see it resolved so quickly. If I notice anything else that's fishy, I'll definitely bring it your attention ^^
