Do not post LINK/URL to external FORUMS and message boards
What's the go here? Does this mean not linking to posts/threads member deems pertinent to their own post? I hope not. I understand rules against forum spam but not if it restricts source(s) that are legitimate to the discussion.
I have referred to posts on this forum on another forum. It would be a silly situation if all forums banned external links to other threads/posts or if one forum did not participate in the unspoken quid pro quo that forums often are. There is no single forum repository for all information - that is why I (and many here) am a member of many other forums. Information sharing enables the success of a forum. It does point members in other directions but by the same token, we also refer back to this forum - and so the cycle goes.
WebMaster: Please clarify the position of DefenceTalk on external forum posts/thread messages.
