Question regarding rules
In reference to: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=538436
Apparently my response was removed. However I still have a question regarding one of the rules that still hasn't been explained to me. I'm assuming that because this section is labelled "WHT-Announcements, WHT-Feedback, WHT-Questions" that I should be allowed to ask here, although I'm not sure as of all the thread/post deletions lately, as well as the threats and warnings for asking such questions.
Regarding the rule:
You may not post any message that directs others to any pages at your own commercial domain, including informational pages. A commercial domain is defined as a site that receives any type of income or links to any income producing properties.

Not sure what else to do. I'm almost at 3000 posts with many links having been posted in my time and I've never had complaints about non-profit links in the past. I need to know if these are still allowed on WHT for future posts and nobody will give a response.

To answer your question we would prefer it if you didn't link to non revenue sites because things do change. You mentioned in the other thread that you once linked to your site, but at the time it didn't have ads, but now it does.

Thanks for the response anon-e-mouse.
Doesn't that basically rule out the linking of any site though?Webmaster Forum • webmastertalk.net • Webmaster Community Forum

Back to our regularly scheduled program. In case you aren't aware, moderators have a lot more to do than monitor one thread
The problem with links to a non commercial site is that they get reported anyway and we have to go check them out. We occasionally let one stay and then a week or so later it will be reported again, this time it does have ads on it or links to their hosting plans/design portfolio or whatever. So probably best to err on the side of caution and not link to your site.
If you have content that would be helpful to someone on your site, just copy it and paste it in the thread.

I just wanted to say thanks anon-e-mouse for the response and for cleaning up this thread. It got way out of hand and I'm glad it's come to a rest.
