If you remember…last year on the month of July, MySpace officially started to convert external links on all myspace profiles and comments to redirect to their link filter site msplinks.com. They did this so that they can cut down spam and have better tracking of what kind of links are placed on profiles and comments.

On Mashable it seems that they have caught a discussion where some webmasters was confronted with a warning splash page for 'bling' sites. This may be an indicator that MySpace is upgrading msplinks.com system so that you can actually see what site are you actually being redirected before you get redirected.

Here is a screenshot of what the warning splash page allegedly looks like:
