...In Cases Where A Hyperlink Would Not Be Allowed?

Reference the "2 questions about mat room images" thread in the Poser forum

In reply to Thunderstones' post that...

"There is a new version of ez mat that works in poser11. Since we can't post the link here, I'll have to tell you where to go. Here on renderosity, look for posts on ez mat and Poser11 keywords."

...a moderator posted the following statement (21st April 2016):

"Thunderstone ... you CAN post a link, it just can't be live. In other words you can post the URL, just not link it. I'm surprised at the EZmat ... I hadn't heard anything from snarlygribbly about it. I will look it up. thank you."

I had my "DAZ Studio Smart+ Props Stuff Release 3 Core" freebie re-upload put on hold at the end of April/start of March 206 because I had two non-hyperlinked URLs in the description. I had to remove them before the item was allowed to go live.

It appears to me that the moderators aren't yet singing from the same hymn-sheet...

So are NON-hyperlinked URLs allowed in situations where a HYPERLINKED URL is not permitted - e.g. in this specific case an offsite freebie.

(This question is related to, but distinct from, the questions on the "Offsite links that were legal (or at least tolerated) when they were posted" thread)

The 3Dcheapskate (also available in DAZ and HiveWire3D flavours) occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
