While it's probably more true than not, I'd hate to be caught up in a situation where this doesn't work, and then get reamed out for it.
Since I don't know that I won't make a mistake by posting a link, or that this really is a full proof method, I probably won't bother doing so.
All together, for me, it's probably not something I'll worry about clicking on one, since it's even just easier to believe that all links are affiliate and just not care. Which, really, I don't. They put in the work and the time, I don't care if they get a few pennies or not. I'm not paying them, so don't care if someone else does.
As for keeping things simple for the moderators, I've only caught that part of their work is adjusting the headers to match changes in ebook formats when they're offered?
If so, then why not just allow members to edit their own headers? One of the bigger forums I'm on it's easy to edit your own thread header. Comes in handy once in a while, and it's not something people do for fun. It also doesn't bump up the thread, so people don't do it to keep a thread going.
Would that help at all or even be possible?
