Please disallow submissions that link to private ip addresses.

For example, the submission at https://hackertimes.com/item?id=1015536 links to a page on 192.168.0.1. In this case the link appears to be benign, but a link could be crafted that changed security settings on a router, or even routed the router.

It seems that links to private ip addresses on HN could be harmful and could never be legitimate.
