Thomaslee Introduction
I understand what you are getting at, but when you make the emphasis in the Thread I have to answer it for all those who will read it today, tomorrow or years from now so they understand we don't make joke with how we Administer the site.
You see Most people on the net are kind of spoiled. They are used to coming to a site and being begged to stay so when they reach a site like this where we have no problem to edit / censor without apology or even
delete without a thought they become emtional and their true colors come out - some of those colors you will not see but believe me it is bad enough to make them an example. This is so you understand better. I will not normally go through lengths to explain but I empathize with you because I also understand my son and his perspective on things.
If you are quoting a known information / news source like CNN, NBC, Fox or Wikipedia you can link to them after quoting their text or using your own words. If you are getting the info from some personal site then it is not allowed. You should not need to tell anyone where to go Search, people should be able to find that on their own. Spammers sometimes use that tactic indirectly by saying
Search this and you will find the other site... or in other words find me. I'm not saying you are doing that, I'm just explaining why we do not allow it here.
I want to advise you to look through the FAQ Board and the Feedback Board to get a better feel of the site and similar issues we have faced in the past.
