I think the inconsistency comes mostly from members who are reluctant to speak up when they observe a violation of Kyle's document "Spam is a No No". This, even though they may understand and agree with Kyle's document.

Variable enforcement occurs and this can cause the inconsistency you have observed.

Many initial violations occur because members have not seen (or read completely) Kyle's document. I've recommended for some time that the document be referenced in the OEC Training. This would improve the exposure to the document's intent.

Just saying.

Police have to be thoughour in their approach to crime, they have to be certain that a crime has been committed, gather evidence, check motive, be sure of their facts, before they arrest anyone, it sounds like these Police are not understanding the criteria thats required before they speak out.

Hello Martin.

I weep for you, I deeply sympathise . Wholeheartedly, I agree with you.

I even suggested to Kyle that he create a bulletin board, if he didn't want "spam"

... is not spam, spam is unwanted. Anyway, he shot down my suggestion.

Some people resort to sending links in private messages, but it does seem to be a horribly tedious way to go about it.

Regards,

The rule about affiliate links is clear. Here is rule 7.

7. No adding affiliate links to any blog, training, discussion or private message.

The rule regarding other links is not as clear. I as well as others include links in blog posts, but there is no requirement to follow the link to read the rest of the story. I often include links to reference or source material should the reader want to see the source or know more about the blog post subject. These kind of links are not spam.

9. Do not post content where your readers are required to go to an external website to "read more". All of the content must be self contained within the post itself.

Smartskeeter posted this “Do not post content where your readers are required to go to an external website to "read more". All of the content must be self contained within the post itself” same thing I infomed Schwifty. Hope others can answer the questions since the founders set this up.

Always good to know the rules.

Read the link Laurie gave you below so you know what you can and can't do here within the community.


As for your URL link for your website, there is a place on the bottom right-hand side under your profile image where you can place any URL or your social media sites.

That is the only place where you can note your links all else is considered spam

This blog post breaks #9 of Kyle's rules.

Linking to a guest post you wrote on a website is also considered self promotion.

These rules apply to all of us: Spam is a NO NO!
