Hey, Dee. Thanks for replying.
> I got a PBC for that very same thing!
Can you point me in the general direction of where that was? What board or about how long ago? I'm trying to collect examples PBCs for links, just to get a sense of what's considered a violation.
I've seen Babble posts where enough description is given so someone could Google a page, but there is no actual link. I think that's a good compromise for a lot of iffy situations.
Of course, that technique hasn't been ruled on yet. I don't think I'd even give that much info to point people toward some super-extreme sites.
I think Bob was waiting for more people to comment about linking before coming down one way or another himself. But even if no one else comments in the next week or so, I hope he will give me some guidance.
I also want to post to my blog.
Would there be stricter linking standards because I myself have control over my blog's content? What if the exact post I link to is fine, but my OTHER posts (which you'd have to voluntarily click on after you got there) were not? What if I warned about exactly that?
And I can't stop strangers from putting uncivil stuff in the blog's Comments. Could I be PBC'd for stuff that someone else LATER puts in my Comments?
