SushiTheLegend Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well if that is the case, I guess this is gonna have to get reviewed in the staff area, if it's gonna be done to Darkthorne then it will have to be done to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Definition Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I had a link that went to my Forum, never asked to remov it. that's when Frunk was here. but still, i think Darkthorne is right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 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, then there should be no links on the forum. THAT IS THE POINT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT IS THE POINT.[/quote'] 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.

Draco Straybyrn Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Because mine is better...? Kidding (Maybe). Anyway, that's another point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Well we are already gonna get this dealt with...because that specific link is seriously bad news and should get removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco Straybyrn Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 But see, it isn't. It's that I'm not allowed to link, so no one else should be. Why can't you people GET IT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

J-Max Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco Straybyrn Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Kay, but DeviantART has forums. It also acts like MySpace. Myspace is itself a forum, but structured differently. Keep it coming. Legit links? BS. Salty, pl0x to be getting an IM client and contacting me, or getting on the SXR shoutbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Slime Lord Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SushiTheLegend Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junk Raver Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 After seeing reports, i decided to check this thread out. I personally do not and would never care if there was a Link to a forum in a sig, therefore i am partially on Darkthornes side... ...sadly.
