Default RE: Need some help with parts on Thunderquake.

ORIGINAL: i8tweety

The post was deleted as it was a link to another forum. You should have received an e-mail stating why it was removed.
I am sorry, my e-mail is down (not working) I will have to setup a new e-mail.

I am confused about you deleting links, (regardless if they are to any forum on the net) I posted information from a "tips/hopups" thread to help anwsers on the question Billsky had from our "R/C CLUB" site which has a 2.5+ arce PUBLIC R/C PARK in which all people are welcome to use (even you mr i8tweety). I see people posting links all over this forum without problems?. anyway in the "rules" I do NOT see anywhere it saying posting links to other forums is not allowed. This is an internet site?... is it not?... is the internet not about sharing info?, regardless of my sarcasm, I feel I have a valid questions here. Posting a link to info can also tell the person who needs it where the info is coming from as far as how trust worthy it is regarless if it's on another forum, there is WAY TO MUCH FALSE INFO on the net about some products. I would ask you to please reconsider this apperantly new policly.

quote from RCU...

POSTING LINKS:
Our policy on linking to other websites is pretty simple. Members may link to any other site that provides information that helps answer another member's question or is just of general interest to members of that particular forum. One of the most basic tenets of the Web is the open exchange of information, and the RCU forum managers wholeheartedly support this type of exchange.

The only type of linking (besides porn and spam, of course) that will not be allowed on our site is when members solicit people to leave our site for a competing service. That's just common sense. We won't allow people to use our site to promote a competing service any more than a brick-and-mortar store would allow his competitor to paste flyer's all over his walls. However, people are always welcome to link to any online resource, whether it's on our site or any other site, in order to share useful information with fellow members.

If you do not, how is it possible to give people info with out having to copy and paste, in which in anycase the copy and pasted material from another site should still have some reconition as to where it came from and how valid it is.

If RCU is worryed about people going to diffrent forums (which many of RCU's user's come from like myself), I would suggest dissabling the PM system also in which I have been asked many times over to partisipate in other forums.

Do not missunderstand my comments as being anti RCU, I like RCU very much, just some of the things recently do not seem right on this "PUBLIC" forum.
