I think the rule is a bit weird, too, particularly given that there is an exception specified, but the exception is not consistently allowed. I posted about this issue long ago:
30/30 Rule
What I did, after being here a couple of weeks, and finding that the exception specified in the rules was not actually always allowed in practice, was to go away for a couple of weeks and come back again after the 30 days passed. I did not like not being allowed to post links, since many times discussions involve people wanting sources, and being new, I was getting into trouble trying to comply with such reasonable requests.
In my opinion, this is the worst thing about this site. But, not owning this site, my opinion on the matter counts for nothing. My guess is, this is one of the reasons why some new members do not stick around, as it is an annoyance to not be able to properly participate in discussions in which people want sources for claims that are made.
