#2 you - as a newbie - are still moderated by parolers, which might be more strict.
I would like to know what a paroler is?
Entire point of this thread was/is: As a Newbie am I not allowed to question the rules which I don't understand? Why do anyone have to take anything w/o understanding the logical reasoning behind it? Which link can be more dangerous for potential user? Downloadable link (where they dont know up front what could be inside that) or Referral link (where they can see what they are clicking upon & even google that site even before clicking on that referral link)
Yes, you're allowed to do that. Going by that logic, should we allow all kinds of spam because it is (potentially) less dangerous than downloadable links? Hopefully you start realizing how faulty this argument is.
