Security

All the links entered by the user are run through security checks. If a link type expects only usernames, then everything except alphanumeric characters & few special characters are stripped off. If a link type expects a url, the entered value is checked to see if is safe. Invalid urls, urls containing unsafe protocols, etc. are discarded.
