    Hi

    I wish to create a redirect url for my members.
    So that my users can choose the name they want and redirect to their chosen url.
    Should I use subdomain
    e.g http://xxxxx.mysite.com

    or
    subdirectory
    e.g http://www.mysite.com/ref/xxxxxxx

    By giving the subdirectory option, it will be easier for me to setup.
    But I am worry users will spam around and made google to ban mysite.
    Is this true?

    While i know google will treat subdomain xxxx.mysite.com as individual site. This will be safer while troublesome

    Thank you

    Regards
