  The only place I could see this being a problem is when somebody posts their OWN affiliate link and gets it transformed into a SO affiliate link. Otherwise, I think it's a good idea, and maybe you could just transform the links not already affiliated.


I actually think that everyone else's affiliate links should already be filtered out (though I doubt that they currently are).  I think it's extremely uncool to post affiliate links on someone else's site, especially someone else's commercial site.

Would it be a problem if all Amazon links were converted to affiliate links?
My logs say that a connection has been established but I cant ping the host.

Here are my logs.
