In previous posts, I have already explained what happened to many blogs and forums that simply linked or advertised torrent sites. Note that torrenting is not illegal, but a website that has illegal torrents, the entire website will be harmed. Unfortunately, there were many who were penalized simply because they linked to PirateBay, even if that link was to legal content.

Sometimes, we have to understand how far we can go, to avoid very big problems.

Just like today, it is not allowed to post affiliate links on the forum, it will no longer be allowed to post mix links.

In that case, I would strongly recommend to @theymos a middle ground where linking to mixers is forbidden, but marketing them as a legitimate service without any direct links is allowed.

Signatures have become the de facto life blood of the current de facto state of this forum, and I can only envision views and activity going down even further if they take a big hit...

It's not about the a few dollars you get / post at all, but rather the cost benefit analysis of posting here vs a more popular platform.

Here sometimes, I prepare some financial analysis, and especially in the local section I know only 2-3 people are actually reading it, if at all. The number would actually be lower if there is no incentives left to post here...

It's time and energy better spent if I post it on a popular social media platform, both for professional reasons, and for intellectual engagement, where I know at least 1000 organic people are going to engage with it... It's just common sense.

So if I were the admin of this place and seeing activity consistently going down over the years, I would be passionately seeking to increase the incentives for people wanting to be here, instead of discouraging them even further with my whimsical precautions that I just declare on the spot, that's against everything cryptos stand for in the first place...
