Heads up when referring to other sites

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Hi everyone,

Just a heads up about posting info or advice about other sites.

It is okay to post about other sites. However, some sites have abused their privileges on Disboards, and when that happens those sites are censored. Please write out the URL for the site and if it comes up as asterisks then you'll need to ask about that particular site on another forum or Facebook.

Example:
When posting about Undercover Tourist:

https://www.undercovertourist.com/ ....... Yes
Undercover Tourist........................................... No
UT ........................................................................... No
That site about tourists undercover .......... Nope

As long as you initially put the url site, then the rest of the post can refer to the site in other ways.

Sample on posting about another site:

I have a question about https://***********.com/.
(Noting that the site is censored, then please do not post question)

If we see that a site is being discussed, and checking the URL shows it to come up like this: https://***********.com/, posts will be deleted.

Appreciate your cooperation in this.
