Erm...no not really...>>

 

Sushi by my understanding We have the right rules and the rest of them are wrong.

He is simply trying to advertise his site and get it popular.

However that is a form of advertising.

Actually, that was aimed at the Rubber Fish comment #2. Lulz @ fishes.

PokePlushies contain links to an external website for their "Level me up!" thing. Therefore, all PokePlushy sigs are in violation of Rule 11 and deserve to be wiped.

THAT IS NOT THE POINT.

 

The point is that I'm linking to a website. Just a link.

 

If I can't have a link' date=' then there should be no links on the forum.

 

THAT IS THE POINT.

I was pointing out that the rule's enforcement seems to be highly inconsistent. icemasteralex's and Poc's sigs contain links that are actually disruptive, but your Summa link is the one that gets removed.

How? It's a site, like any other site.

 

If I made a Front Page for it that said enter, it would STILL be just a website.

 

It's the same as linking to deviantart.

 

It's the same as linking to myspace.

 

It's the same as linking to google.

 

It's the same as linking to ANYTHING.

 

I could enclose the actual site within a mess of links you have to click from other sites, but that's inconvenient. Hence, the actual link exists.

 

If you edit my post because you think I'm threatening (the 1st post and all the others, actually), then that shows you how bad this site is getting and that my site might actually be better anyway.

 

NO, THIS IS NOT AN AD CAMPAIGN, THIS IS A POINT.

He's referring to the link that I mentioned in Poc's sig. The one with the Rickroll that dances your browser around the screen.

[/quote']Again you are wrong. It is a FORUM, big difference there mate, if I posted a link to a forum that I go on I would be advertising and therefore in violation of the rules, problem is this rule doesn't seem to be enforced a great deal which I hope changes, therefore you can stop complaining about special treatment.

If there was the Rule then Every single Pokeplushie would be dead, How would we link to our Card Collections?, Also how can you distinguish a Link inside YCM to a Link to the Outside World?

 

There should be strict guidelines as to what is and isn't allowed. If someone wants to post as link why not ask a Mod first for the okay? Then we wouldn't need conversations like this..... Trust me the Mods know what links are Legit just ask!

I'm personally okay if you put links in you sig. If you're linking it and not saying something like "JOIN MAH FORUM!!!", that's fine with me. The rule was probably made so members wouldn't migrate from this forum to another. Now that we have about 60,000 registered members, I don't think it would be a huge deal if a few registered for your forum.

But Rule 11 says nothing about forums; it merely mentions "links to external websites".

More reasons why this rule makes no sense.

Obviously if you link to one of the DeviantArt forums then we have problems. MySpace...not really a forum to be honest...just profiles. Again this will get sorted so stop going on about it.

 

EDIT: I understand your point, in that case the rule needs to be greatly updated and fixed. As Max has stated things need to be sorted out on this whole issue completely, now Slime go to the Mod forum so we can sort this out. :P
