Whatis safelinking

May i ask please what is “safelinks” and why the many files here in warez-bb arent posted in MU and RS for example directly but in “safelinking” instead?
Thanks!
Answer #1
Safelinking is an extra measure to protect links (with sometimes an additional captcha or password). Bottom line: it increases the longevity of links and reduces the risk of them getting deleted.
Answer #2
And the warezbb linkchecker cant check if the links are still up or down, so it keeps your thread alive for longer

It does that due to the extra security. Instead of just being one link it will be two links (safelink + the filehost link) and in a best case scenario it needs 2 validations (captcha or passwords).
Perhaps it’s easier to explain using an example. Lets say you’re cold whilst having 1 jacket on. If you pull on another jacket it will possibly stop the cold (thus keep you warm), and if does not do that it will at least keep you a bit warmer (the extra layer here being the jacket).
Do you understand?
