Links in private messages

Discussion started by bahrometrix

Hi!

I’m a bit surprised that I can no longer include links in private messages. If I try to do so, a notification or warning message with a red background appears in the top right corner.
This is obviously counterproductive, as I can no longer send test models to my customers via download links, meaning I can't sell any models this way.

A question for CGTrader: Is this happening only to me, or do other users on the platform have a similar problem?
And one more question: Do administrators or moderators read my private messages?

Many thanks in advance for the answers.

send a txt file as an attachment with the link as text inside it

And is that allowed, or does it violate CGTrader's guidelines?

Last year my account was instantly banned for sending innocent link to a friend in private message on cgtrader. It took a week to reinstate it and cost me a lot of nerves. No explanation or apologies were given by them. I think you may consider yourself lucky for just receiving a warning and not ban. This marketplace is driven by nutheads, normal rules do not apply here.

Okay, I understand that. The operators of CGTrader want to prevent transactions from taking place outside of the platform. But what options do I have for sending a test model to a potential customer?
