    I’m not talking about the title but the actual page a post links to. Your idea to mark edited URLs is great, though.

    Or always crosscheck the hyperlink in title or body with an open-source malicious site database and flag all malicious sites once and for all?

    The internet is in flux. Once and for all is not possible.
