....um advertising rule?

[PZYR0]

ive read the rules, but the one about advertising, can you post links?

eg. is this allowed?

someone says "where can i get *free open-scource program here*"

why, here!

well of course it's ok to provide outside links for free programs and such.

when it becomes not OK is when people provide links to illegal files (ROMs, ISOs, BIOSes, Crackz, Warez, etc)

or if people try promoting their site with the pure purpose of profit (ie: the spam bots that have been plaguing the forums as of recent)

 

[PZYR0]

so, the rule means you can post links to external sites, so long as it's not blatantly advertising?

yeah, just use common sense ;p
