Is it again Mylot TOS to put links in your posts? I saw someone who had posted a link to free 7 up coupons, which I think was nice. However, I wonder if we were allowed to do that or if it would be deleted? Thanks for any input you can give me.

OOPS! I am guilty of posting a link to another website that I like to check out. It is a website with updates on one of my favorite shows. I love Big Brother and the website that I have shared with others gets the live feeds and then the person who heads that website has people that watch the feeds all day and then they report on what is going on on the live feeds. If I wasn't allowed to post it, I didn't mean to be bad! I hope I don't get into trouble over it.

I think you're safe with that link. It is mainly referral and other money-making links myLot is worried about. As long as it was pertainant to the discussion, you are actually encouraged to post links.

I checked the FAQ, and under the "DO" secction of the guidelines, it says, "Make sure to post useful links in discussions when necessary to provide authoritative guidance or to refer to a third party article." And under the "DON'T" section, it says, "Don't post any links promoting other affiliate programs or that do not pertain to the discussion. Posting the same link over and over or posting links that have no relevance to the discussion is not allowed." So, basically, you are allowed to post links so long as they aren't for your personal gain (like getting referrals for other programs) and add to the discussion at hand. Hope that helps!

wow ok thanks for clearing that up. So in essence, post links helpful to your topic but not any that will make you make money.

I don't think you are supposed to, but check out the guidelines to make sure

According to the TOS you will not be able to post links to websites in your discussions. I don't know if that only refers to referral links or others but to be safe I never post ANY links.

That is what I thought, thanks for the clarification. I guess I don't understand why people continue to do it then. Maybe just ignorance of the rules?

I posted a link to Wikipedia a while ago and it's still there so it might only referral links.
