Curious as to why newbie's have rights to post links in the first place.
This would all stop if users except for members and above could only post links.
I've been on here for years and never had a good reason to post a link and I'd be fine without that privilege.
Its a knowen thing here now for years , about the Malware Links here in the thread mostly over a year !
Here you can see what kind of links they already got so far !
It was posted in my thread !

Guess they focus on phoenix miner because of it's popularity overall and on bitcointalk (one of the top traffic keywords) and because it only recently has an "official" website (
https://phoenixminer.info)
Now they changed it to
PhoenixDev-Miner-Team I fighting them and other Malware links now over 2 years , nearly 3 and they using Bots for posting it ,
means if one gets deleted they post with the next hacked or bought Account they have and got.
The only thing we can do about is to report them as soon as possible when you see them.
About a restriction for newbies would be not helping because if real Users want to post a link here on the forum and they cant would be not so good.
Next thing is that the Malware posting Accounts will be changed to other Ranks, we got this all , Hero / Legendary ranks have posted that too.
Just report them and all is fine.
