| reask said: Well I Do give links to other sites quite frequently but as the thread was about a specific site I just figured it may be seen as a kinda back door to advertising the site. I have seen threads locked for mentioning sites depending on context. anyway site name and link to thread is up now. |
The only threads should be locked for a link is if:
- It was a link to porn
- It was some sort of a trap (think Rock Roll)
- It was advertising (as in the person who provided the link gets some sort of credit for every referrel or click)
- It was advertising a competing website (and even that one would be iffy)
In your case, you would be showing an example of what you're talking about which is perfectly cool. It wouldn't even bother me too much if you made thread talking about cool news sites and then supplied a link about VG247.
