On computers people need to be aware of the hazards. And when a group provides an areas for members to post links, it runs the risk that some prankster will abuse that. The intentions might not be thought out. So I think a link section might be useful, but a warning posted that the group can not be responsible for those links, and that the normal caution should be used. That is why I suggested a twofold buffer, one the link provider adds a line as what to expect, if an admin tries the link they can credited as being legit.
The ones I talk about are the ones where when you click on the link you can not return from, and depending on the depth of the technology used to create it, the very mean ones, there is no return from.
I would suggest that most of the posters here are mature enough to post good links and not resort to such pranks. But you can never be certain of anything so caution should always be used by each individual and their own judgement be used, but a guiding hand is welcome and helpful.
