2. No advertising on the site without prior arrangement with the Admin Council. This includes, but may not be limited to, starting threads with the specific purpose of attracting visitors to any commercial or competing site or forum or sending PMs to more than one member in a week for the same purpose.

um...thanks but that doesn't answer the question. Surely its clear that the link was not intended for any of the reasons in rule 2 or any other rule that mentions posting links to other sites.

I find it especially hard to believe that KS would be considered a "competing" site LOL

*edit*
...sorry I'll let it be, its just that things like this urk the heck out of me...why not spread the word about other resources. Especially in this case when that wasn't even the point...it was just pics.


**sorry to thread crap.

No I think the rule is you can't post any pictures that do not belong to you (i.e., you took the picture of your animal or you have permission from the person who took the picture because you are buying the snake). You can post links to pictures, but not post the actual picture itself.

OH!! ok slap me retarted I was looking from the wrong angle!


...although JLC did say this:

EDIT by JLC: Can't post links to another forum. Sorry.

*SLAP!*

You were right. The original post was a link to KS and not a pic. It was changed to link to the Breeders site with the pics.

I'm not trying to start anything... just clarifying.

[TekWarren]

not a problem...i should have kept quiet its not even my thread...just my mind trying to over analyze.

[daniel1983]

I split this over here. It was hijacking the other thread.

....go on kingsnake and try linking a thread on this site in a thread on kingsnake and see how long it takes for your post to be pulled and a warning to be sent to you by them saying that if it happens again you will be banned.

If we refered everyone to another forum, what discussion would happen here?

I nominate myself the offical BP.net spanker for all people who break the rules! Let the spankings commence!
