I've read several posts mentioning that reference links are not allowed, and on top of that you have the viral entity that is MyB**** spreading its malevolence all over the forum. I've also read the rule regarding self-promotion.

So what is the official position? I note that the reference links remain in place and aren't removed by the mods, thus encouraging more people to indulge in the practice. I am a forum admin myself, so I realise how much work monitoring a forum the size of OnRPG must take, but ultimately why have rules if they aren't being enforced?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to criticise the mods and admins or to encourage reference links and spamming, but as a newcomer I'm getting mixed messages from comparing what the rules say is acceptable practice to what actually amounts to common practice in reality.
