Policy on linking to other sites?

[puffcrusader696]

Hate to rain on your parade, but other forums advertised have recieved complete ban on all staff without warning due to enthusiastic members as I have been told by a close friend. I am not insulting the decision, just stating some facts

I am a bit... saying that a ban without any warning is a bit ridiculous and should be given some attention as to why that is happening

I do not need the chill pill when I can explain coolly our side. The solicitation of links via PM, VM and social group is unauthorized, period. This is where we draw the line. You are doing us very poor favors by stealing our members to another forum no matter whose side is enthusiastic.

I know several people banned without warning for solicitating sites. No such warnings were given. And once they are banned they cannot defend themselves. Either policies written by the mods are being violated by them (no names listed) or policies have seriously changed.

Puffcrusader, see my answer on quote above. We draw the line where we decide the ban has been warranted. There are many cliques here that are soliciting unauthorized links. We would have appreciated at least if it is simply done outside the forum, not inside here or confine it in your signature but some people are not satisfied and chose to use other means of communications featured in this forum.

The question by OP has been answered. Any more questions unrelated to the topic should be asked in PM. I might remind you that you have no right to question the corrective actions of the staff done to your friends, much less the ones involved in cliques.

What the banned members were doing is no different than spam. There was a warning that everyone agreed to.

I hate how people who only know one side of a story are so quick to judge. Learn to take things to PM instead of airing out the dirty laundry that doesnt even concern you.
