Website address removed from my group.

Hey. I added a Weebly website address to one of my Steam groups but it keeps showing "Link Removed". Why does it do this and how can I stop it? Thank you,

That means it was removed because it was filtered for reasons like scam, malware distribution, betting or other harmful activities. Additionally, Link shorteners are filtered as well.

Feel free to post it here and i'll take a look at it to determine why.

freewebs is blocked.

Weebly sounds like a freewebs style thing. We block most freewebs style sites.

That domain got filtered because its service was used to spread malware to steal Steam accounts.
They filtered the whole domain instead of filtering each site separately as that was a fight against windmills.

When you say 'we', does that mean you have some control over the blocking? is there a way that mine can be unblocked because im not spam lol

I wont be responsible for constant checking of your site to make sure it's still safe. Get yourself a real website if you really want it on your profile but tbh dont spend the money as you cant advertise it at all on the forums.

Not about the filtering. Free website hosting services get abused all the time and to save the users from such things they get generally filtered.
Your only option would be buying/renting a proper domain and hosting service.

Okay thanks both of you. Such is life. :)
