Implement disabling a embedding of media

[vitonsky]

When i test the remark42, i have enable anonymous access, and as guest i tried to post. I discovered that as guest i can do something like this:

![](urlToExternalPic.jpg)

And picture will shown in comments.

Can i disable pictures? Maybe we should implement markdown AST filtration on backend to solve this problem and allow to users implement other rules to handle comments

as of now, anonymous access allows external images but restricts image upload.

I want to disable media for all users which not approved by me

the conditional limiting of some content is doable, and I kind of remember filtering it in some cases. Don't recall where exactly, but sounds familiar. You can check the code, this is likely done with some regex or goquery

We have an issue #1300 about comments pre-moderation support which is not targeting this particular problem but might solve it as well because you would have to approve each new comment to the site before anyone, but the comments moderator sees it. However, I would expect the implementation to take at least two-three months from now as I assume I'm the only person who is interested in writing that functionality.
