Message Link Allow List

We are still being targeted by scammers who use the ModularGrid messenger to send phishing messages to users.

To reduce this problem, we’ve introduced an allowlist of the most common websites that can be linked in private messages. As a result, it should no longer be possible to include links to phishing sites.

This is admittedly a rather drastic measure, as the allowlist certainly won’t cover every legitimate website. However, we believe it’s a better approach than trying to maintain a denylist, which can never keep up with newly created phishing domains.

Unicorn users are currently exempt from this restriction because their accounts are not anonymous.

If a URL is blocked that you think should be allowed, please let me know via PM or at [email protected] so I can add it to the allowlist.
