Hello,
My suggestion is that in the tutorials section, the authors, on their first post in a thread, should be allowed to use clickable links.
The reason one would want to have the option of having clickable links is to have a more cleaner look.
For example if you offering maybe 4 or 5 files for download as part of that tutorial, and then each file has several mirrors, it can easily become messy if coded.
On the other hand there is the disadvantage of the person not being able to see the link, however, as with most modern browsers, highlighting over text reveals the URL, thus the person has the option of which filehost to use.
If items are correctly labelled and a good user friendly layout is used and a trusted member is posting clickable links, it is in my opinion, a benefit to the users using the content.
Posting a thread in tutorials section requires approval from a moderator, thus there is not really a chance of any random person posting dummy tutorials with malicious links.
In the meanwhile, I will edit my tutorials to conform with the current rules.
