Unregistered users cant see links in threads?

It has just came to my attention that when unregistered user opens elitepvpers thread that has links in itself-he cant see/click on the links.Links are scrambled with a image that says " Register to see link"

This means that any potential customer that finds my EPVP thread in search engine like google, and clicks on it, will also close it at that very second, because guess what, 99% of customers will not bother to register account just to be able to see links, contact thread creator.

This is detrimental to epvp website traffic. I find it hard to believe that this was done on purpose. There is no serious marketplace forum that i know off that does this.

Or maybe i am just doing something wrong, but for the love of god i cant figure it out.




EDIT: Unregistered users also cant see Singatures. This is hilarious. Why not lock the entire forum lol.

If there was only a reason for it...so people use the TBM system like they are supposed to.

Im pretty sure there are also other reasons for it, not only to avoid scam.

Yes, this is limited to Elite users. Unfortunately it would negatively impact our SEO if we would allow it for every user, especially spammers use forums to link to garbage sites.

p.s. Please read our signature rules, you need to link to your TBM thread instead to your website/discord.

So basically there is no way for me to post links or contact infos in my threads or signature that guests can see? Only way is to pay 300 EUR yearly for elite membership?

Can someone send url with signature rules here so i can check them up.

Exactly. The general rules are linked in every forum as announcement at the very top.

Just for your understanding, this is the rule Luke is referring to:

Quote:

Promoting an offer outside the Black Market is only allowed if explicitly asked for (e.g. in a "Looking for XYZ" thread), in this case only links to sales threads in the Black Market are allowed, no external links. This also applies for signatures and user titles.
