Telegram enforces penalties for sending Open Message links

Our users have reported that if you send a link that starts with tg open message (without spaces) to another user in a private chat, you may face consequences, including being kicked out of your account or receiving a spam ban. In some cases, the punishment may be even more severe, including the deletion of your account or the blocking of your phone number.

The @tginfo editorial team strongly advises against sending such links in private chats or any other types of chats (groups, bots, channels) in the near future.

P.S. Please remember that these links can be used to reference a user by their (numeric) ID.
P.P.S. The issue was initially reported by the user @Mrak_a; The editorial team thanks him for the information.

Telegram 对发送 Open Message 链接实施处罚

我们的用户报告说，如果您在私信中向其他用户发送以 tg open message（不带空格）开头的链接，您可能会面临包括被踢出帐户或收到垃圾邮件封禁的后果。在某些情况下，惩罚可能会更严厉，包括删除您的帐户或封禁您的电话号码。

@tginfo 编辑团队强烈建议近期不要在私信或任何其他类型的对话（群组、机器人、频道）中发送此类链接。

注2：该问题最初由用户 @Mrak_a 报告；编辑团队感谢他提供的信息。

If you'd like to localize Nullgram, you can do so via our Crowdin.
Nullgram still has a lot of untranslated text.
If someone would like to do this, I would be very grateful.

=====

Nullgram仍有大量文本未经翻译，因此急需翻译人员进行翻译。
如果你认为你自己有能力帮忙翻译，你可以通过Crowdin进行贡献。
对于任何提供帮助的人提前道声谢。

春节快乐！
Happy Chinese New Year
