Sometimes outside links may contain harmful content to the user clicking on it. (i.e. viruses).

The warning is there to ensure account safety and give a notice to users that they will be leaving the website. It would be a shame to become subject to a virus from a simple mis-click.

If you are going to post a link here on jsp but you are unsure if it is okay or not you can always message the appropriate staff member to get an approval.

it wouldnt be a miss click, isnt that why the warning is in place. but an instant warning for something that would benefit the community, or a link to anther forum posting warning people about a glitch that people were paying $20++ for an item you could get free (i could have just copied and pasted the same info an not have gotten warned)
