I'm content to leave it to the experts, the people who have taken on the annoyance of keeping the site viable, to decide what the rule should be. I just hope if this Emily really does want to take part in this community that she will get the opportunity. Again, I'm content to leave it to our experts to determine if that is the case.
But that rule is already there. There is a no advertising rule. We don't need to ban all links from people who haven't been around for 30 days to fix that. Its already against the rules to advertise. Most new members aren't trying to advertise and if every time they use a link in conversation be it a image, a video or a article they get it removed and get a warning of course its going to put them off staying here.
