      @Jstear And now David is deleting my replies.

      Awesome, so I can't even approach the OP publicly to let them know that other conversations are going on.

      David can eat a bag of *****

      SW can't allow people to post links that steal their conversations to other forums.. they need to keep everyone there.

      Yeah, but deleting the whole post? He could remove the links and post an answer, for example.

      removing the links still tells other people that someone is talking about these things elsewhere. They don't want that.

      Right, the most important thing is that they can't let people know that THEY are blocking links to other sites.

      This suggests that the panic is setting in.

        So instead everyone will just PM the OP of these topics and lead them elsewhere.

        Since there is no controlling of the PM function.

          This always has to be done via PM. No matter what forum you are talking about they don't want things to leave the community.

          I once had a post removed from Experts Exchange due to posting an answer and sourcing another forum, from where I found the resolution. They can do this, as it is in there Terms of Use of using the site.

          You shall not engage in any of the following activities, which are strictly prohibited under the Code of Conduct:
          Posting links in open questions that encourage Members to use competing sites.

          I would expect at least some education in IT. We all (should have) learned about correct source citation. Stating an information's source is not only valid but important IMHO.

          Do what I do... state that there is a source and state that we aren't allowed to link to it. Nothing is more damaging that making it public that they are so scared that they can't let their members find out about other communities while giving them the opportunity to allow us to link. They can stop that anytime that they want.

            Or that the are specifically blocking a user who is calling their users stupid on another community and trying to cross link to said community.

                Absolutely, references and citations are very important.

                  It is an important rule of ML that this CAN'T happen. References to other sites (at least for reference and citation) are totally allowed. You only limit those links when you are not open (manipulating the results) or in fear (don't want users to know.)

                      Except for ML. Because it's not about fear and control. It's about the conversation and the conversation is most valuable when it is open and honest.

                        As noted previously, no. I will not fuel your ego on these posts. Every once and a while you hit my threshold of asshattery and I comment again on your level of asshattery.

                              As noted previously, no. I will not fuel your ego on these posts. Every once and a while you hit my threshold of asshattery and I comment again on your level of asshattery.

                              Also know as the Jared AHT or Ass Hattery Threshold.

                              It's a well understood limit.

                                Awesome, so I can't even approach the OP publicly to let them know that other conversations are going on.

                                David can eat a bag of *****

                                SW can't allow people to post links that steal their conversations to other forums.. they need to keep everyone there.

                                Yeah, but deleting the whole post? He could remove the links and post an answer, for example.

                                removing the links still tells other people that someone is talking about these things elsewhere. They don't want that.

                                Right, the most important thing is that they can't let people know that THEY are blocking links to other sites.

                                This suggests that the panic is setting in.

                                Or that the are specifically blocking a user who is calling their users stupid on another community and trying to cross link to said community.

                                Have you read either this thread, the OP of the thread here, or the OP on spiceworks to come to this conclusion?

                                  Welcome to my world. I have 100% stopped posting "over there" because of that f[***]bag [moderated]. I swear he sits and rubs himself while he smugly deletes posts. I was so hoping he was one of the 12%, but no such luck.
