I don't understand. For you to see the message, you have to click on the link. Your clicking on the link must mean that the link is active, since it is getting clicks. So why is the link being deactivated for being inactive?

- OutOfHere 1y agoIt makes sense in a technical capacity, not in an epistemic one. I never claimed it is the right thing to do.
