Just in case, I'll post it for him.  I'm somewhat beyond 30/30.

I've read and re-read this several times and it still doesn't make any sense to me.

• 30/30
  In addition to the No Advertising rule, there is also the 30 days and 30 posts requirement. New users must accrue 30 posts and be a member for 30 days before they are allowed to post external content, such as links, images or videos. This is to ensure that advertising is not your sole purpose on this forum. Any posts where the sole intention is to link to external sites/videos may also be removed at the discretion of the staff. Once you have met the 30/30 requirements however these particular rules no longer apply.
  
  
• 30/30 Exception
  One very important exception to the the 30/30 requirement is when external links/videos/images are used within discussion or with the intention of discussion. While we would generally advise new members who haven't met the 30/30 stipulations against posting threads with the sole intention of linking to an external site (whether advertising or not) or starting your own discussions based on external content, we do of course allow you to link to external sources when it is warranted. For instance you can post external content if using it as evidence in a discussion or you can post a YouTube video if it is relevant to an ongoing discussion.
  

I'm not on staff but since we frequently discuss religious atrocities....I'm particularly guilty of it (because there are so many) it seems to me that the exception would apply... unless it is your site and you were just trying to drive traffic to it.

Okay I removed it.

I thought the same sort of thing when I started, but it seems that moderators often do not look at things that way.  Here is an old thread I started about the issue:

30/30 Rule

In my experience, the exception seems to rarely be allowed.

Leaves out giving me that crappy wafer and telling me it was the body of christ, transubstantiation my ass. I mean, come on! As to the wine, could have told me it was anything they wanted and it was going down.

I would take out the Beslan School Siege and add the Mumbai hotel atrocity. It just so happens that the majority of Chechens are (Sunni) Muhammadans but the reason for the siege was not religion in my opinion. There are those Chechens who want their own country.
