That is the way I understood it from the exception written into the rules. But that is not the way it is enforced.
I would post a link to my edited post, but I have no wish to single out that particular moderator (in part due to otherwise liking that individual, but mainly because this is not about a specific moderator).
What prompted this thread was seeing other posts that have been moderated for violating the 30/30 rule, and although I cannot see what the links were, as they have been deleted, it seems that I am far from being the only person who bothered to read the exception written in the rules, who consequently thought that links were okay as long as they were relevant and not advertising some product or website.
