# Reports and takedowns

> What Linkaloo checks before a link is made, the limits on making links, and what happens when a short link is reported.

## Checked before a link exists

A destination must be an http or https address, with no embedded user name or password, no private, loopback or local address, no loop back to Linkaloo and no other link shortener. Some back-halves are reserved.

## Limits

A workspace can make a limited number of links per minute and per day, and a flood of clicks on one link is counted as bots.

## Reports

Anyone can report a short link on the public report form. We look at it, and a link can be taken down.

## Takedowns

A link that is taken down answers 410 and its back-half stays blocked, so it cannot be made again.
