Solution to the external linking issue.

I think it's a good idea to have. It shows Graalonline isn't responsible for what you are doing after leaving the site and when someone posts a bad link on the forums it can still be deleted by - active - mods. It's just a suggestion Rufus made, worth discussing with Unixmad sometime.

Us active mods do not live on the boards. I have actually had my account stolen by a forums link, so I dont find the rule a bad one. So it is a little annoying, and you have to take a couple of minutes out of your busy lives to ask for permission to post a link. It is not such a big deal....

You know, even links that dont seem bad, can have bad links associated with them, or not be what they seem themselves.....been there, done that.... and unixmad simply does not want links that advertise other games, so there ya go.
I hate clinking on links people send me for approval even...because you just never know. Yea, I am paranoid with good reason.

You've just said yourself that you and Sam do not live on the forums, so what is going to stop someone from just posting a few illegal links with how the forums currently are? I mean, it's not as though we're forced to go through you, and if you're not online then there's going to be an issue with reaching people.

That said, there's hardly anyone here anyway. It's just a little off putting to users, especially new ones, that there's all these silly processes that we've got to go through for something so simple -- hardly anyone reads rules as soon as they come to a forum, but most of the communities I've been to have just been common sense based rules, not iron fist.
