Most people know that I've got a new domain now, thus the change in my signature. So, it leads to a tech site. There's a million of them out there, what's one more. Ok, more to the point. My signature has two links in it. I changed my signature in another forum for techs and got a PM today telling me that I broke the AUP and would be banned if I didn't change it. Wait a minute. I've spent over two years on this forum using a link to my ld website and now that I run a site that more tech help oriented, I'm all the sudden banged on. Over 4000 posts I've done and nearly everyone has been in support of others. I PMed the guy back and let into him about he treatment of long term members. I told him that maybe BIOS Central wasen't a "all round" tech site, it was still a tech site.
I found it really low for them to do that to someone who's been helping out for all that time. So, after laying into this dork, I told him if he didn't like it, to change it himself and then ban me, cause I ain't coming back to this place again. Now, I get an email telling me how sorry he was and yada, yada, yada...
So, would you say that in terms of netique (spelling that wrong I think), would it be acceptable to have a person have links in his/her signature or not? Is it wrong to have a link in ones signature even if the site you signature appears in is similar to the one you have?
