Anyone can simply copy starting with the address following the // and paste it into a URL bar.
Firefox makes it easy by having a paste and go button.

But I understand why you do not want Flickr accounts accessed from OCC.

because....

This is a reminder about the "No hot links to Flickr" rule. I'm not really sure if everyone realizes why this rule exists so I am going to post briefly a fact or two. When you click a link to go to the Flickr site, it logs your referring site and (on Pro accounts) displays that information in the stats page. A member seeing a referral from an outside page will usually become suspicious and begin to investigate to figure out where their information is posted. Finding OCC is usually a death sentence for the account. In the pics, please notice what information is provided to the account holder and also I will include an example of a milf we lost due to this very reason. They had posted hardcore for about 5 minutes before the hard stuff went away. 2 days later, the account was closed. This alll happened just after appearing here (not this thread, though). I hate it when things like this happen. It is so easy to prevent, please remove the http:// from the link so it is not a clickable link. Please copy and paste all links to your browser. Lets try to protect what we have so everyone wins.
