I can't understand. This board does not containts illegal content. Why posters need to mask urls?

Firstly its to stop the site you are going to from knowing where you came from

It could also be that if you click the direct link you will get redirected to a page you weren’t expecting

Also if a site sees a lot of traffic coming from a certain place they may choose to redirect

Sorry this is brief but its early and my brain aint working to well lol

Someone else will be able to explain better im sure
