How to share links on MCOC chat?

My alliance just uses the built-in MCOC chat client, rather than line or discord or any of the external clients. I would like to share a link to a google spreadsheet in that chat, but there is no way to copy the text from the MCOC chat, so I wanted to make a short link, like tinyurl. But it seems like all the link shortening services I can find, like tinyurl and bit.ly, are censored on the chat! I'm sure there's a good reason for this, but I'm just looking for a way to share a link that people can actually use. Does anybody know how to do this in a way that won't get blocked by the chat censors?

    Really should considering changing that. Line and discord are used for a reason.
    The MCOC chat is horrible, outdated 2014, with a even older censor with it.
    It blocks everything and nothing, it's very varied and diverse.

    Mcoc chat literally sensors words like kushala and negasonic, the names of their own champions lmao. Use line.

    Alright, fair enough. I suppose it's time to set up a discord server.

    I would love to see the IN-GAME Chat Box be able to “Highlight / Copy” existing messages.

    Maybe they don’t because they don’t want to make Global turn into something worse than it is.

    But at least for ALLIANCE Chat and maybe Individual Direct Chat they should enable that. (or maybe NOT Individual either ?)

    In meantime, if you are using those “address shortening” site, just try typing “BIT (dot) LY” separated after by the abbreviated address to your page.
    So they know what you are referring to, without it probably hitting the sensor match.

    You may try only the code on the chat

    For example bit.ly/example

    You just put = code example

    Then your alliance mate puts the entire link on browser 👍
