Site Problems

Here is one of them .. And I'm pretty sure that link was valid at some point, since there was an Super Moderator who post it.
They may be old posts, but users generally navigate them to get THROUGH the references .. There can be made an script, to be use, (for administrative purpose, I meant) , when they want to delete an entry, or link that is not longer valid, scroll the entire site, and replace the text of the link specified by something like "Link removed" The site is huge and ever evolving so finding all those broken links would be nigh on impossible. And what you are suggesting is simply replacing those links with some text that tells people the link is broken, but surely users are already made aware of the fact that the link is broken when they click it and are informed that the page no longer exists, so I am not sure what advantage would be gained by all that work.

IMO, Invalid or Obsolete links, i think it does, there is resources (server side) involved by making a search engine go to invalid request every time some one hit them, or even site administrator who like to go THROUGH logs files when something is pointing to "invalid or broken".. but as I said, it just IMO. Are you talking about This >> Kickass anime recommendations? It's still there. I just went to it... Here is one of them <<< is pointing to this URL >>> http://www.kickasstorrents.com/community/show/6558/, wich is broken ... PD BTW, The thread was started, so I understood there may be a Site Problem that can be call staff member attention (administrator, developers, etc.), may be a wish list ?, recommendation ?, or anything else, it's just my point of view, not the intention of discrediting the wonderful work of administrators and / or developers, Torrent Helper, Super User, or anyone of our beloved KAT's member Last edited by Prairi3DoG32794, 10 months ago |
