why link is forbidden?

Question 
why link is forbidden?
Hello
Why links in posts is forbidden?


This rule is useful in terms of preventing posting inappropriate links, but when a user submits 3 posts, then it is clear that he/she is the user who submits inappropriate links.

It's a silly rule.

Only for the first thirty days.

Still restrictive, I agree.

Without that rule (and sometimes with it) we tend to get flooded with links that are irrelevant, spammy, pornographic, racist, and pointless.

Once you’ve been a member for 30 days, as Tomato (PBUH!) says, and have made 30 posts, you can post all the links you want, provided they don’t violate other rules.

You can however post Lynx, links and,  Lynx with links, But not links to Lynx, links or lynks with links.



I hope that clears everything up

Then there's no impediment (under the rule at least) to them posting links.
