Whilst we’re on the subject…here’s the current ruling on direct links and urls…:-
Personal Websites - This means sites like Vince’s and Bully’s, which are non-commercial/political sites which people have built for their own and others’ enjoyment. Allowed in signatures and can be linked from relevant posts
Organisations - eg.Owner Operators, PDA, etc. By agreementonly in signatures in relevant threads. So don’t post it without asking.
Commercial Sites - Not allowed in signatures. Can, however, be posted by a member who has no connection to the site in answer to a question in a relevant thread.
So if someone asked where to buy a fridge and AtkiG11 said “Try www.coldstuff.com” then it would be removed.
The obvious exceptions to this, by the way, are our paying advertisers…they can do what they like (within reason)!
Hope all that makes sense…tell me if it doesn’t and I’ll re-hash this post.
So if you have no connection with the site linked to, and are posting it as information from one member to another then thats fine and dandy.
Hope this helps.
cheers
STEVE.
