hey! I don’t have the ability to PM yet, as I just made this account!
You read the above information - and that’s the thing you came up with? Despite it clearly stating…
We’ve had an influx of new members signing up to request fan project links within project threads and then disappearing without participating further.
From now on, unless the owner of the project has explicitly instructed members to post requests for project links within their project thread, any link begging posts will be deleted without notice.
Yes, we know you can’t send PMs as a new member. That’s kind of the point. Think about it. However, you can read PMs sent to you by other members, so if they want to get in touch with you, they can.
Repeated violations of link begging will result in a ban.
There are many people doing the same thing I am
So you are aware yourself and others are also breaking the Site Rules and Guidelines, annoying the creators and members here with endless & unnecessary link request posts that have disrupted conversations on the projects themselves - queries, feedback, reviews, exchange of ideas, suggestions for future versions etc - to the point where a number of creators and members have left the community here because of it… and come up with the inept attempt at justifying making more ‘link request’ posts with… ‘other people are doing it too’.
All instead of simply waiting seven days and then sending a PM - and using that time to participate and engage with the community here.
Good luck with that. 👍
