Title: Mining pool website not allowed in signature?
Post by: craslovell on May 28, 2013, 03:16:36 AM
Is this a rule I missed? My "link was removed".

Seems like you're having no trouble with it  :P It was fine for days then I see "Link Removed" in my signature.

Try making a link to a pools "post" here in the forums... That is usually "tolerated" as it is an "internal link", and cant be used to "direct people to malware". (Not that your link did that... but you don't control what that website places on its pages.)

I am sure it was a general protection. (Should also make you wonder... why DID they remove it. Is that pool legitimate? Do they have issues with that pool? Is it a malware-infected ad-site?)

Also, if you SPAM, and direct people to your signature... they shun on that.

I suppose there is sound reasoning behind it. No the pool is a solid ppc pool. It's chemicstry's D7 PPC pool. If there's any malware on it, it's definitely slipped by me and a couple hundred other people  ;D

I took your advice, we will see if it gets taken down again!

is it because of this:

10 posts are required to use links

Strange, I think I had more than 10 when I put it up. Either way, I will leave it as it is now and hopefully it doesn't get taken down.
