Mods, why the hate with posts containing links?

Even though I post a link with information or a website that clearly doesn't sell or advertise anything, the posts get immediately deleted...

Is this automatic or the mods don't really click the links at all?


Is it forbidden to share helpful resources and information in warrior forum lately?

    5. If your thread is deleted, do not re-post it. Do not post a thread asking why it was deleted. Read the rules, watch how things are done here, and figure it out. This is not complicated stuff.

    6. Remember that threads get deleted for lots of reasons, most of them having no reflection on the original poster. They can be nuked because they're the umpteenth copy of the same discussion in a short period, because they're on topics which too often degenerate into flame wars, because they have nothing to do with making money, because they're pointless, because they tend to drift into bashing, and lots of other reasons.

      I've read the rules clearly and I'm not a newbie in both affiliate marketing or forum posting.

      I sense that mods don't even look at the link posted, they hit delete as soon as they see a link inside, even though no rules are broken.

      And this didn't happened 2-3 years ago.

      It's a difference between spam link and a helpful link, just because it's a link it doesn't mean it's spam. There are things that you can't put inside a post.

    if you post to sites that are not your own, and they have relevent information, it should be OK

      Find enough paid forum posters (people paid to post links), and you'd likely get trigger happy nuking threads/posts, too.

    Don't complain, read the rules.

    Why post a link if someone is not asking for it or why make the link active if you can just tell www domainnamehere com?

    It's the rules. Follow it. Can't have everything your way in life.

      It may be that what you posted may not have led to a discussion about an Internet marketing topic. In the past the moderators have frowned on threads that just point to articles online. They also don't like you just posting threads that are simply blog posts or articles copied - especially from your web site. All these practices hint that you may be posting just to get your signature seen rather than really trying to add to the discussion. They want members discussing with members and not simply rehashing what is found in other places online. Otherwise, this place will be overrun with content just pasted from other places and not really new and unique serious discussions.

    Websites that truly don't sell or advertise anything are few and far between - especially in the business world. While there are those with no Adsense, ads, email signups, CPA offers, etc. and just post content for the sake of posting content they are the rarity.

    For those that I've checked, every time someone has claimed that here I have discovered they are mistaken. They are monetizing the site somehow or another. And even if not monetizing it directly, they get views or possible likes or other similar benefits that can be monetized.
