I am typing up an email, myself also.

He said pretty clearly that links to outside sources are banned. Don't pick which rules to follow and enforce. If you want the rule changed, put it on the helpdesk, but in the mean time, enforce the rules which are currently in place.

I said it before, I will say it again.
I am not clear on the rule, nor are the members. I will enforce the rule when I am absolutely clear on it.
The only thing I am clear on, is that you cannot post a clickable link to anything that is not Graal related, but I am not clear on what that exactly means. Meaning, I dont know if Unix wishes to let members have links to their PW sites, or other things that are Graal related.
When I am clear, I will enforce.

I am hoping that when the new NGRT is finished, that non-graal related links will be allowed there.

It sounds to be like you are just doing preferential moderating. It's nothing to be ashamed of, but just admit that you are doing this because you don't want to enforce the rule.

There can be little question to what the rule states, even if it does sound crazy.
