linking question
I'm sorry if I'm asking this in the wrong section, but no other sections seem fit. Is there a rule in linking? I put a link in my post but was removed. I've tried searching for the answer but I can't seem to find it. I looked in the FAQ section, but I couldn't find any questions and answers in linking in posts. I'm sure each forum has its own rules and reasons for them. I'm asking because I don't want to break any rules, nor do I want to upset the admin or moderators.
I would be grateful if someone could point out the posting rules so I won't make any more mistakes in the future. And if the rules are obvious somewhere, I apologize for my cluelessness for I honestly did try searching for them. Thank you in advance for any answers. |
I believe posting links may be limited for an initial number of posts by new users, simply as a measure to prevent spammers from posting links.
Since you are a regular non-spammer person, this will be a temporary inconvenience. Somebody help me out here, what is it, like the first five posts, or the first 24 hours, or something? Anyway, welcome to the Cellar. And, yes, this is the correct section for this question. There is also a catch-all thread called "Questions about this site" somewhere around here. |
there's a rule against newbies posting spam.

Also, we're afraid of just plain 'ol gettin' Rick Roll'd.

No links in the first post, with very rare exceptions. Occasionally the first post will have a link, that's vital to the point of the post, but that is rare.
If the link had been to Kershaw, I might have let it slide, but it was to an independent knife dealer, which smacks of spam. If I thought that link was the entire reason for the post, I would have deleted it all, but I felt the post was legitimate, with the link as an addition, so I just removed the link. |
Ahh....I now vaguely remember to the sort of no linking for newbies. I registered some time back and had forgotten about the rule. I apologize. I merely did a search for a Kershew Onion knife to show a pix as an example and choose whatever came up first without thinking. My apologies. Again, thank you everyone who have responded. And thank you xoBruce for understanding.

It's a judgment call and being semi-human, I surely make some mistakes. Your patience is appreciated. :D |
