I've noticed a trend lately in which members post a new thread with links, and add nothing: not a summary, a blurb from the article, nor any kind of opinion. I'd like to remind those of you who have done this of the rules (bold mine):
Please don't start a thread with a link if you have nothing but the link to post. Thank you.
The Rules Wrote:This is a discussion forum.
This means that members should interact with each other in a proper discussion, and not purposely / repeatedly evade rebuttals made to them. Whilst members are not forced or required to answer every post addressed to them, ignoring them all and continuing to post similar content will fall in line with our "No Spam" rule. This includes posting links / copy-pasted content / scripture verses repeatedly, without adding your own comments or being relevant to the thread.
This is our primary rule and all other rules fall in line with this concept. The staff reserves the right to analyze each case in the spirit of this rule if said case doesn't violate the exact wording of other rules.
Please don't start a thread with a link if you have nothing but the link to post. Thank you.
