So long as the page you link to is on Randy's site, and contains his ads along with his content, you should be fine. These boards are given to lengthy and pedantic debate of relatively minor points, and frequently use links to the comic archives to back up arguments, so it'd be truly shameful to discourage an already established and messily loved tradition.

They're also prone to photoshopping random comic images that amuse them, and posting almost-porn. I suspect that this board will be treated much the same as the ES board, so feel free to use that as an example of what all to expect over here. This board is new in a community that isn't, so it hasn't worked out all the kinks yet.

Generally, we try to keep the comic sub-boards work-safe in terms of images and mostly in terms of avatars, but links can go anywhere, and the language itself isn't always polite or safe. It is true, however, that well thought-out and clearly written posts generally get more respect than those which aren't, unless the ones that aren't are pretty damn funny.

Cheers. I still don't understand why my post was edited, but I'll put it down to either:
  1. Somebody getting over-zealous with the link-removal; or
  2. Randy (who according to the 'edit' message on the post requested the removal of the link I provided) hates me.

and get on with my life.

a) I think it might've been an honest mistake, myself. The sudden influx of new people, many of them not sure how the rules work here, can lead to confusion.
b) That's not entirely impossible. He already hates Baron

Quite probably. I wasn't suggesting that it was done maliciously.

All I wanted to know was what I'd done wrong so I could avoid doing it again.

Oh well, seeing as one of my life's ambitions is to be insulted by Hugo Weaving and/or Terry Pratchett, I don't necessarily look upon this as a bad thing. :D

I'm guessing all you did was directly link the comic instead of linking the archive page that held the comic. No harm no foul.

Example (fake pages):

Bad: http://www.somethingpositive.net/arch/sp11172000.gif

Good: http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp11172000.shtml


The first links the comic the second links the archive page containing the comic.

Thank you, onion, for setting the basic guideline.

There will be an official set, with all requested guidelines included, whenever the hell Vigi shows up.

He fucking did this at the dating game, too......

Its only because you steal our post counts while we sleep.
And because you've been here for almost thirty years.

Actually, my confusion over the whole issue stemmed from the fact that I was particularly careful not to do that. But whatever.

Ah see I'd have to say that the moderators need to lay off the pot then. Either that or they're just stupid. I'm not sure which is more likely...

I dunno about hamsters, but there's been a guinea pig lurking around with a look in his eye.
