Question to S-Mods/MentaL

[Unleashed Hell]

Well, since I'm not really getting any answers by PM, I just wanna know, why the hell can't I put a banner with my band's logo in it and with a URL to our MySpace page?

True, it wasn't the only thing I was advertising in my sig - there was also a link referring to my Bux.to account, so that if people wanna sign up through that link, they get signed up sort-of under my name, so that when they make money, I make money as well. I know that kind of stuff is not allowed, and it for my own selfish personal gain, and blah blah blah, whatever, I know that.

But why the hell is it wrong to put a link to my band's MySpace page in my sig? It's not like I'm getting any big money from it or whatever (Hell, at this stage I'm not making money from it at all), I just want people to check out our music, and I don't know about you, but I think that from all people here, MentaL should understand the band thing best.

I don't see anything wrong with linking to your MySpace account. It was probably removed when someone edited out the bux.to link.

Re-add the MySpace link if you wish.

What about links such as our portfolio site?

Like how pieman has his blog, are we allowed to have a link to our own blog like pieman's?

On the other hand he did abuse his advertising once.

I guess he should get a second chance, we all deserve one right? :)

rules state do not advertise servers and other forums in your sig.

Personal stuff that is not related to any of those 2 is ok

Apart from all this referral-crap, of course.

I've never really got that much from them, would Xtem.org be another forum if it's mostly to do with programming not MMORPG's?

dont be such a little bitch about it

if i had removed the stuff that wasnt allowed i would have infracted you too, maybe a temp ban as you have been a member for a good while now.

pick ur toys back out of the pen and re add your myspace if you want
