Why I'm here.
The Community Guideline states: ADVERTISING Starting a topic for the sole purpose of advertising is not allowed. You may not solicit via Private Message. Signatures may only contain references and links to personal pages, such as your blogs and profiles; references and links to anything that is not personal, such as websites and forums are not allowed. "Strictly" following the rules would mean any link posted in debate or news means spam/advertising. Yet it is argued by another member, E-Man, that such links are "allowed because it is [a] source [that] is not advertising or promoting a certain cause or company. You are simply citing where you got your facts or story from." However, that is deviating from the community guideline rule itself, and not "strictly" following. According the definition agreed by iRock cB, if a link is posted so that it would provide information for a cause, it would be okay. So why is the topic "save the la mesa" censored even after I explained that it could be means for providing information? I remember clearly that Jusun meant for staff to be lenient in the lounge, but what happened to that proposed leniency by the leader of this community? |

Well, with that La Mesa topic, it was persuading them/us to sign a petition. Should persuasion count as advertising? I personally think it is..but..yeah.
Dani- Ah. Gotcha. Sorry Im being nit-picky. I dont mean to. >< |

Sorry Im being nit-picky. I dont mean to. >< Persuation to sign a petition, not to make a purchase. Else, persuading people that you are right by posting a link as a source in debate should be "oust", too. I can relate the two ideas if anyone care to oppose. geez, i'm a dork. Brenden, I am glad you did not take my creating this topic to heart because I'm not pointing the finger at you, just at how the rules are enforced by using you as an example (it was convenient). But please try to get the link back.  Actually, I wanted to see if La Mesa is going through the same thing my YMCA in Houston did with the government. I think I'll just look for it online.
