Seriously, I read the 30/30 Exception the same way. So did CL when she first joined.

There appears to be a pattern and a problem with the way that exception is interpreted.

Just sayin'.

I'm thinking that the issue arises when you post the link to make your argument rather than support it.

As for how you read anything, that's alway going to be sketchy, given what we've seen of your (ahem) reading skills.

I'm not a mod, but I'd say probably when he can formulate his argument in his own words, rather than plagiarize it.

Simply posting a video is not a discussion, any more than simply linking to a youtube video is musicianship.

I agree.

And I managed to read all of your post, somehow - despite the (ahem) typographical error which I was able to overcome even with my limited skillset. Tongue

When can a new member with less than 30 days and 30 posts link to outside content?

When it is conducive to their argument and is not simply plagiarism, advertising or a video/article with no points of further discussion explicit within the post (eg. posting a video or article without any input from the poster).

All decisions and reviews are at the discretion of the staff. We review on a case by case basis and go from there, and generally do not take past behavior into account unless the pattern of behavior is the same.

Religion: the most catastrophic dick-measuring contest ever created by humans.

Good question!
I propose the use of an example:

When solving the quadratic equation, ax^2 + bx + c = 0, I think the correct solution is x = ( -b - sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a), but also x = ( -b + sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a).
I don't know exactly how to get there, or it is rather lengthy to go through all the details in a forum post, but these guys here seem to do a hell of a job explaining all the details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula.

################
Another example:

Wow, it seems Israeli law enforcement forces are being threatened by rocks! Just look at this news story:

Quote:Israel has decided to allow its police troops to fire on Palestinian and other stone-throwers when civilian lives are deemed to be at risk, and not just in self-defense. The Security Cabinet has also approved a 4-year minimum sentence for stone throwing.

in
http://www.rt.com/news/316454-israel-fir...ion-stone/

Those guys are going to have some dead bodies to answer to, in the near future.

################
Another example:

God is real. Here is a video of a first hand personal eye witness account of just how real God is:
I know you guys won't be particularly inclined to watch it so I'll summarize it:
Girl born into christian home, parents get divorced, her mum gets it on with some other guy and bails.. depression ensues.. god swoops in and saves the day... bla bla bla (poca doesn't have the time to listen to it all)

There are countless other similar stories. How can you atheists not realize that there is really something out there?!

#################
All of these would be ok.
The main thing is that the links, quotes and videos are used as support for the argument you're making - they're not the entire post. You add your own thoughts, your details, your views... your own words.
Also during your 30/30 period, exterior content clearly generated by the user itself, such as blogs, is seen as advertising, and is removed, even if used as support for the post.

Yet another preacher who can't tell me why I should give the first shit about any of it.

They're too busy assuming that if they can convince me there's a big scary thing watching us, I'll be lining up to kiss its ass.
