Bindoner Introduction - Page 2

To provide information that is needed by players without the core rules. The rule against links needs to be flexible enough to allow useful information. I would not link to commercial products, social media, obscenity,malware or commentary. This was a game related resource to forestall some of the questions being asked. I could have said " there is a freely available open licence resource of the rules, use the internet to find it". That would be patronising,achieve the same result, but avoid constituting "A link".
Perhaps you could outline a method for informing other user how to find information useful to the group that is not available with this forum? There must be a better way to do this than to copy/paste the answer to each question as it arises.
As regards "Sway Members to any external site" - I do not think that is an issue. Everyone is aware that there are other fora. It's how we found out about this place. Also: I did not say "Here is another place, let us go there instead", rather "Here is a thing that will enhance our experience at this site".

Introduction Bindoner

That is for the GM to decide and he does so in the first Post of the Rules Thread. Other sites also may be posting copyrighted material - it is up to the GM to also verify if the information he presents Players is legal or needs source information.

This governs links: Posting links to External Web Sites.

You need to clear that with the GM, he / she determines if it is useful and if so then he will request it be put in his Rules Thread. I should mention here there will soon be an even better way to do this: A Game Master's Rule & Policies Page?

I do understand what you were trying to do, what caught me was how you were editing your Post to bypass the measures put in place. When Members reach a certain Post count they are allowed to put links, but still they follow the lead of the GM and really linking is for Source information only (News articles, etc)

Interestingly enough we DO allow posting commercial links here even to other Role-playing Game sites, they must follow the format given here: Classified Ads & Your Links.

Fair enough. I'll go through the GM if a similar situation arises in the future. At least you've seen on of the ways around the system in a live trial - so we have both "Made a learning"

Yes, I have already added your version to the block list. It was creative but wasn't the most elaborate I've seen, I once had a Member who wrote an encrypted poem on how to get in touch with them - I could not believe the extent that was taken. Cheers mate.

Introduction Bindoner

Power-cut season here. I may be delayed in posting on occasion, but I should be able to get online at some point each day (Though they usually get us back online within a few hours sometimes it can take a day or so).

Backup generator or solar powered iPad should do the trick for that unless you don't use any kind of wireless internet or aren't close enough for wifi.
