I had originally read the rules as not initiating a thread with links, but joining a thread and posting a relevant link while participating in the discussion was OK. I saw it as a means to weed out 'hit and run' trolls. If it is completely relevant to the post, why not?
I say, "blah blah blah". You say, "Proof, source?". I say, "30 days from now".
Not conducive to an ongoing discussion. It can be difficult sometimes for a newbie to participate. I also understand the viewpoint of the moderators that have to weed through those links.
If there were a 'Dummy' user that the regulars could PM the link to the specific post, that would make it less cumbersome for the moderators to look for the 'bad' links as they would be in one spot.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
