Pseudo URL in Location
 

User ace_in_the_hole currently has a location of "2outer.blogspot," which is obviously a plug for his website.

I PMed him once and told him to change it when it was http;//...etc, and he changed it to this.

Have him change it again?

Yeah, and let me know if he continues to be difficult about it.

Will do.

It is against 2+2 policy to have urls in your location.

I know that "technically" this isn't a URL, but it is obvious enough what it is refering to.

Please change it.

Thanks,
Jim

Mat said URL's in profiles are OK last time I asked.

Location is part of the profile. In this post he says there are no restrictions on profiles.

URLs are not allowed in the location field. Here's a long thread about it:

What about URLs that link to NSFW sites?

OK, here are the operative pronouncements from Mat from that thread:

[ QUOTE ]
people can put whatever they like in their profile. there should be no url in the location

[ QUOTE ]
People can put anything in their profile, but directing people to one's profile in the location or adding the link to a post would require too much investigative work on our part to be allowed.

[/ QUOTE ]

So suspending the requirement of logical consistency, the overriding statement appears to be no links in the location field. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I agree it makes sense to not allow URLs in profile fields that display as part of the post.
