About links.
We mods do remove links if they are illegal in some sort of way such as pics of minors or if they qualify as commercial spam which is against the Terms of Service.
Even if the links have been there for months and not noticed, we would at once remove a link to a porn site filled with pics of 17 and under minors.
Perhaps it would help if we gave the reason for the edit in the post.
Going on my memory, I think some of the mods do give the reason for the editing or removing of a link. |
