This rule does seem pretty poorly thought out. The *content* should be what determines if a link is "OK" or not; someone has already pointed out that this exact same content, pointed to by the exact same person, would be fine if the content were hosted at youtube. In this case, it should be obvious that an exception to the rule is in order.

Ugh. The intent of that rule has nothing to do with my case. But I guess there's little you or I can do about that.

You can:
*Copy and paste your ideas from that site to 2+2.
But perhaps you are more interested in promoting your site than communicating your ideas on 2+2.

This rule seems very easily thought out. It's not worth the effort to check each site individually for content. Global rules make up in their efficiency what they might miss in individual instances of unfairness.

There are two very easy solutions here. A person can just copy and paste from his own blog, something that isn't very hard to do. Or, a person can find a buddy to swap link referrals to boost traffic to their own sites. You popularize my blog and I popularize yours.

Iron81, this should probably go in the Politics forum constitution.

The link swapping idea seems like a horrible loophole for this law. In any case, I am working on a website now that I would like to publicize on 2+2 once it is ready. Anyone else want to loophole with me?

If you and Nielsio did this I would [censored] myself laughing.

I'd love to if it weren't for the fact that it sounds extremely gay.

I would be willing to do this with Nielsio. I need to get working on my site though.

This is the ultimate proof that people value cooperation more than conflict.

If you're stupid enough to discuss circumventing rules in a thread that you know the mod is monitoring and then do it, you definately deserve a tempban.
