Another workaround is using ASCII Hex codes.

I wish this stupid annoying linkfilter could be disabled in settings. Maybe we should make a petition to valve and ask for it?

Only if they put up a disclaimer there that by that you give up any right to complain if you click a malicious link and get infected.

Of course. Just like with email confirmation.

Yeah, this is what I was thinking about too. :)
I'm just afraid that a lot of people would still click on anything (sadly they do) and still blame Valve/Steam for it. The basic IT security knowledge of the everyday user is frighteningly non-existent. (Not low, it's not even there.)

I'm agree with you, but I don't see why people that possess IT security knowledge should suffer because of that. An option to turn this off would solve this dilemma.

A link to my steamgifts page was sitting on my profile for the longest time prettily as in
[url=http://www.steamgifts.com/user/kittenparry]Steamgifts/trades profile[/url]
then today I realised it shows
{LINK REMOVED} [www.steamgifts.com]
I do know Steam does/did this for a whole lot of links to prevent spams, hijacking and stuff but why steamgifts?
