I have the same problem like you. Did you receive already an answer from
Alex or another visitor? I think also that people will not like very
much the idea that their link is rejected (even it is rejected ...)

I would like to see this built into the functionality of links, as we had a person enter a site 12 times the other day, guessing they got impatient and kept clicking the submit button, and perhaps internet congestion or server too busy, anyway we got 12 emails telling us there were 12 sites awaiting validation, went in and clicked the radio button for 11 of them to delete, and one to validate, and it sent the owner 12 emails 11 with rejections 1 acceptance, would have been better to be able to click on delete, no email so that those 11 would not have sent out a not accepted email.
Any hope for this in the future Alex?

An "undocumented" feature of Links is that if the reject reason is blank then Links will not send an email.

Since it can be a pain to remove the text each time, you can comment out:

my $reason = &load_template ('email-del.txt', \%tmp);

in sub html_validate_form around line 1094, and no reason will be generated.

A better solution would be to add a "Reject" and "Reject with Email" radio buttons instead of just one.

Cheers,

Alex
