Inability to link to blog sites?

[guitarizt]

I don't have a blog, but I enjoy reading other member's blogs. I find almost all the blogs I read here on 2+2 from links in the member's profiles. Is there any chance that 2+2 will change their no link to blogs policy? I think it's a terrible policy because it's linking to your diary, not to a pokersite or anything. I find the sites very informative and think that it is a terrible policy to start enforcing.

Lots of blogs contain affiliate links. Letting bloggers spam their sites is frequently equivalent to giving them free advertising, which (a) doesn't make 2+2 money, and (b) pisses off the paying advertisers.

Is it really that hard to find someones blog link in their profile?
