Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ahh, sorry about the link thing. I really thought it was for the entire site, since the reasoning was he doesn't want dead links everywhere...oops.

I believe the rule about the links came about because people were just posting a link to an add on KS. They would post a link then say look at this what is this person thinking. Or he this person goes again blah blah blah.
The person that owned the add would see this and would go delete his ad. Those Rich telling people not to post the links and that he would not allow them to. But instead post a screen shot. A link could be with a screen shot. but a link by itself would not be allowed.
Hence this being for the BOI.......................
Seamus is not as bad as some of you think. He has disagreed with me on things and has even told me in public. We talk about the situation and fix it.

Posting external link - 1 point
This has been addressed in a thread somewhere. Basically I do not want links posted here to external URLs that could vanish when the source changes or ceases to exist. Cut and paste, or use a screen shot, please. Especially if you are using it as evidence of some sort. Once the source goes away, your link here is useless.

That's Rules for Posting on the BOI which this is not.
|
Actually that is not true. That particular rule applies to all forums on this site. It is targeted mainly for the BOI, but it also is relevant in other forums where people may be inclined to post links to such things as care sheets, examples, photographs, or anything else on another website that might be gone a year from now. One the source goes away, then the post referencing it becomes lame.
Even in the classifieds section, I am not all that keen on someone simply posting an ad that says "Check out my price list HERE", and has a link to their site.
So in essence, it is a common sense courtesy thing. I find dead links to be aggravating, so I would like to take steps to eliminate them on my site, since other people are probably aggravated by them as well.

Well then I misunderstood what your rules said then. A point would not be given outside the BOI......That is how I read it.
Now what you said is kinda wierd to me, and sounds to me like you just don't want any other links posted here.......just another way around it. Dead links happen. This is the net. I am not attacking you Rich just giving my opinion........
So lets say a really good article is posted...lets say on.......Tanith's site. I think a link is needed to show credit. That is MHO. Not just "this was done by Tanith". A link should be givin to show where it came from.
I can totally understand the calssified ad thing. Where someone is trying to prove something a screen shot should be taken because the other person can delete their own add to hide. But just to articles care sheets. I think it is rude to not put a link up from where you get the care sheet from. I would never do that to someone. 100% credit should be govin to the author and the site.
I just think a link to things like this should be allowed. Dead links happen. But I would not stop someone from giving credit to the site the info is coming from with a link to the site..............
Like I said not attacking you just letting you here another side to it..............

Gary, what I tend to do, and have seen others do, is copy and paste or screenshot of the article/ad I have read and want others too see. I then provide a link to this, so people have the option of seeing it for themselves, if the link is still viable...

So how does that apply to say... The New Or Updated Website forum? Or discussion forums when it isn't appropriate to copy the entire contents of a website, but the website best answers someone's question or is appropriate to the topic?
I also (obviously) misunderstood the application of that rule and thought that it applied only to the BOI, where posting a link to an ad or a pricelist became meaningless if the page was edited. Applying it to discussion forums may result in some tedious copying and pasting and screenshot uploading if I ever want to send someone to a website for information rather than typing it out.
