Posting URLs
Evidently I'm not familiar with this RCU policy, but I just noticed that a URL I posted was removed and replaced with the text Unapproved website removed or similar.
This makes no sense. I was not "name dropping" or trying to scam free advertisement. I'm not affiliated with the website in question. All I was trying to do was answer someone's question.
The name of the model company was posted several times throughout the thread. That's just as much "free advertising" as posting the company's URL.
If it's against the rules to post a model company's website, then we should not be allowed to post the model company's name, or the names of any of their products, either. If we are not allowed to post one company's name, we should not be allowed to post ANY company's name, website URL, or product names, period.
I can't compare how a plane flies to a type of cat because the robo-censor thinks I'm posting nasty stuff, yet I see REAL 4-letter words making it into posts on a regular basis. Now this. It doesn't make any sense. Please, can someone explain?
