50 Reasons why LORD OF THE RINGS Sucks

so how many useful links, then, have we been deprived of??

😑

Advertising.....as in their own personal site even though it's on Lord of the Rings?

Rule -

No SPAM
Do not place ANY advertisements on the forums. This will be considered SPAM and could result in the loss of your KMC Community Membership. We generally class SPAM as a website with which the person has a personal interest in, or is not a relevant topic of discussion. You can, however, place links in your signature (excluding forums) as long as it is placed sensibly.

So basically...you can post a link that isn't an advertisement...but you can't be interested in the link...or else you will be banned.

😑 Like I said...clear as mud !

Err, well, it is generally the mods call with these things, you know?

Looks perfectly clear to me, Skinner- sorry you have troubles with it but there have never been troubles before.

It is very simple- if the link is to a site you have a stake in (this is advertising) or it is irrelevant, it is spam.

I read the 50 reasons, and visited those boards. I not going to be judgemental, but the amount of profanity just doesn't make me want to go back there. As far as the humor of the person......well, it isn't that big of a laugh.

It's not humour for everyone, but I loved it.

Um...okay.....I'll just work it on here....I think I get it now..

Thanks for the update Ush...but I don't have any troubles with it...

Just trying to figure out what is SPAM and what isn't...

No need for an attidude

Well, it strikes me you are having troubles if you are still not clear on it. I am afraid we cannot really make it any more clear than it is.

Here is the original Link...but again...I have no self interest in this link...

( Crystal Clear now Ush..thank you very much )

Can you answer this Ush?

If it is their own personal site then it is advertising and so spam.

Better to carry a link to your site in your sig.

Countering is pointless. The points are intentionally nonsensical.

And... sorry, Kit, but that was not spam.

Incidentally, BF, I could not disagree more- those people have far more wit and intelligence.

Not from what I've seen. Both the Matrix and lotr articles failed to make me laugh. It just points out the same flaws that everyone else has pointed out in the past. At least maddox pointed out some unique and humerous things about each movie that hadn't been stated before, at least not in such wacky and humerously worded ways.

"Keanu Reeves aproaces each scene with the steadfast determination of a moron running into a wall". I find that much funnier then just "Keanue Reeves is in it, so it isn't good". Nothing very funny about that.

Oh, and Ush is correct, it is not spam.

Okay so personal site is spam, but something a link like more or less a public link then it is good?

Okay, crystal clear now.

So this is why someone else's site was not allowed...for it was posted in a thread...but, if it had been posted in this person's signature...then it would have been alright.

Okay...this is making more sense now.

So you can only advertise in your sig and not in your posts ! Got it !

Yes, there is a specific provision for putting a site link in your sig.

However, for various practical reasons it is not allowed to advertise other message boards full stop, in your sig or otherwise.

Umm, why would we ever want to advertise any other message board.

What if you put a link....in which it has a link to your own personal site? 😄

if the original link isn't a personal link, then no one knows, no harm done right?
