I have a kind request to all the users and admins.

As I can see a URL shortened link above so thought of letting you guys know
my opinion.
Url shortened links are dangerous many a times as spammers and phishers are
using them heavily these days.
Example: Some one posts a link and says buy viagara at 80%, you know thats
not what you want and spam filters can easily filter, but if he says
something concerned to the mailing list and post a url shortened link, you
will not know what link it redirects to. It can go to something undesirable
say pornograpic web page  (may be a bad example)

I request admins to take this issue seriously and have it on the guideline
page. (If I have convinced you)

Please preview before clicking
For example:
say your tiny url is http://tinyurl.com/yzxlds7
visit http://preview.tinyurl.com/yzxlds7 to preview which link you are going
to view before clicking
