But since it's impossible to ban all unwanted url, we have to make a list of accepted urls like: bitcointalk.org, bitblender.io, cointelegraph.com and etc websites.

A whitelist is very tricky: if one of them would turn into a scam, the forum could be blamed for whitelisting them.

I totally fell for the cloned site, until I realized I couldn't see your trust ratings.
I have added this line to /etc/hosts

Code:

127.0.0.1 bitcointalk.to

Now my computer can't access that phishing site anymore.

So thanks to this they had to lock this phishing and nobody was fooled anymore.

Do you even know what that post is about?

Well, whitelist may sounds risky but look things differently. This whitelist mustn't claim which website is scam or not. I mean it will just collect original URLs of serviced offered on our website and only phishing will be prevented, it has to do nothing with website's trustworthiness.

And what's about user above you, no he doesn't know what that post is about, quoted here blindly Grin
