"You are now leaving MCGamer Network and being redirected to..."

Hello,

As pretty much all of you know, whenever you click a link that isn't an MCGamer.net link, the website will warn you that you are about to leave the MCGamer network website, and be redirected to the original link you clicked - as a security precaution. I understand you can manually just click to the site you clicked on without waiting the 10 seconds, but I was wondering if there was a way to disable this security precaution per account, or if that feature could be added.

For the people who know proper security precautions themselves, it can be quite a burden to have this warning pop up every time you want to click something, and sometimes it just drives me away from clicking a link because I don't want to have to wait 10 seconds, or click the blue button to skip the 10 seconds - for some, like I said, it can be a burden.

Any possibilities on this, NagolGames?
(tagging Logan cause... reasons)

And just to be super clear, I understand why this is here - security. Just to re-iterate that, even though I said above.

Just a thought, I can fully understand if this is not possible, cause some people might disable it on accident or something of the sort. :)

I think that it is nice to have it there as a just in case, measure. You never know when someone might be trying to access your account information and we don't want to be responsible for any issues like that. I think it's in everyone's best interest to keep it there, but I completely understand where you're coming from.

This + it's really only ten seconds or one more click. It seems like a poor balance of risk reward to want to deactivate it. We all make mistakes, and having one last look at a link before you open could save your computer.
